I agree completely Flintfan. The evidence is there for people who are interested in maintaining their hunting traditions and rights. It is far better to get involved in the fight now than to come here several years from now asking where you can find $50.00 or more a box non-tox inferior shotgun shells.
As I noted in Ted's other thread about Huntfortruth.org, the lead ammunition ban in Kalifornia has had zero impact on the declining populations of California Condors. So the knee-jerk reaction is for Kalifornia to expand a ban which is doing nothing except making hunting much more expensive. The few that were getting lead poisoning were getting it from other environmental sources of lead. You must remember that the people who are supposedly doing the autopsies and testing of these bird carcasses are the same anti-hunting agenda driven people who would like to totally eliminate sport hunting. It has become obvious from simple observation of populations of supposedly threatened species that they have been cooking the data. I can show you photos of birds that are dead or dying from a hundred different maladies including old age and claim my tests show lead poisoning. I wouldn't put it past some of these anti-hunters to actually poison some birds with lead compounds just to make their case.
