EPA May Ban Bullets Because They Could Be Hazardous to Your Health

Not because they can kill you, but because they're made of lead:

Several environmentalist groups led by the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) are petitioning the EPA to ban lead bullets and shot (as well as lead sinkers for fishing) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Although EPA is barred by statute from controlling ammunition, CBD is seeking to work farther back along the manufacturing chain and have EPA ban the use of lead in bullets and shot because non-lead alternatives are available. But here's the catch: the alternatives to lead bullets are more expensive. A ban on the sale of lead ammunition would force hunters and sport shooters to buy non-lead ammunition that is often double the cost of traditional lead ammunition. A box of deer hunting bullets in a popular caliber could be upwards of $55.

This should also be known as the "let's finish off the Dem's hopes of winning anything in November" measure because about the only thing the Democrats haven't yet done to tick off voters is go after guns and sportsmen.  Taking lead away from ammunition and fishing equipment would guarantee that those people who make up the sportsman class in this country would take their frustration out in the ballot box.
