I agree that the hazards to health, human and otherwise, of target shooting with lead shot and bullets are minimal to nonexistent. What I'm saying is that the antis, antihunting and antigun, have added two more strings to their fiddle: "public health" and "wildlife environmental protection," and they will play those for all they can. In CA right now, that's a lot.
Resistance continues (see
www.calguns.net) but it seems the courts are the most likely source of relief right now. Some of the provisions of the laws against sale and transfer of semi-automatic arms are pretty clearly unconstitutional on grounds other than the 2nd Amendment.
