NY is a joke. Lead hunting ammo ban.

Andy, are there no hunting groups in your state to offer any resistance to this law? I fear that we might have the same fate in Missouri. I love our conservation department, but they would really like to move to non-lead for all hunting. I know that lead can kill birds, but so can power lines, tall buildings, herbicides and any other host of reasons, and we are to banning them. I have not seen any concrete studies that show that upland birds, beyond maybe dove coming from dove fields, are being significantly effected by lead shot. Anyone know of any?

There is opposition but this state is unlike any except maybe California in that it's controlled by the democrats in NY City and Albany. The numbers are so overwhelming that there's little chance to win an argument on the right.

I hesitate to crow about the lack of gun laws here in the Great State, Live Free or Die, of New Hampshire but we really have it good as of now. No waiting periods, and everyone that is allowed to poses a firearm can carry consealed with no permit. Oh, and if you are over 17 years old you do not have to use your seatbelt, or wear a helmet if you are riding a Motorcycle. It is not up the the state to tell you that you have to be safe. And as an aside, a survey came out last year that the seat belt compliance rate in NH was better than in Massachusetts, which ha a seat belt law. Oh, and we do not have a sales or income tax here.
