The problem is that because of the few areas that lead shot might have contributed to lead poisoning of wildfowl, we are constantly being strong armed with new restrictions on lead shot in areas where it makes absolutely no sense.

Despite your disdain for hunters that complain about the ban on lead shot, it is these "occasional" hunters that make up the vast majority of hunting license sales. Every time that hunting becomes more restrictive, and/or expensive it harms us all, and the future of our pastime.
