I found it Ted. Thanks very much. I had to click on "Browse More Opinions" to find the Dec 11th anti-lead op/ed piece. I note there was also a Dec 11th op/ed calling for a semi-auto firearm ban. Gee, where did you ever get the idea that this is a Liberal rag?
One anti-lead person made an interesting point in the comments. She stated that this ban would be too little too late since there is already a 150 year accumulation of lead shot and sinkers on the bottoms of these lakes. That is a point I brought up a few years ago when GrouseGuy Ben Deeble was posting all of his junk science supporting lead shot bans. The lead is still there. Nobody has dredged the bottoms of our lakes, swamps, rivers, and ponds. It has not dissolved. It still gets churned up by wave action, and bottom feeding waterfowl would still be able to consume it. So now that the anti-lead people got their 1991 Federal Lead Shot Ban for waterfowl hunting, why aren't we still seeing those heart wrenching pictures of dead and dying ducks and geese supposedly poisoned by evil lead shot? The anti-lead/anti-hunting liars are still trying to tell us that only one or two pellets consumed by a bird will lead to a slow agonizing death. The anti's got what they wanted and are moving on to lead bans in upland and rifle hunting. Pure agenda driven B.S. intended to reduce sport hunting!
