Pete,
Your logic is sound but your wrath toward me is not justified. I responded from my point of view because that is what this threat was about, despite the title, waterfowling and upland hunting with lead. From an economic basis the cost of non-toxic ammo for most is small compared to all other hunting costs. Gas to go hunting ususally costs me more than the ammo.
Had you ask me what I think of the lead ban for any species my response would have been very close to that of Kensel. I had typed something similar but lost it...

Kensel's response was definately on target!
The present situation is that one can break the law and risk a fine and their gun, follow the law like a good citizen, or be politically active to change the law. Since you must be the latter please send me a copy of the correspondences you have sent to Congress so that I may quickly do the same.
Mark
