I guess the whole point I've been trying to make is that we should not be demanding the anti-lead people to produce evidence so much as we should be illuminating the false narrative that's already been tried.

If we demand evidence, they will produce it... and as we have seen, much of it will be agenda driven and not factual. Who will be vetting this evidence and verifying that the data is not fudged? Who will be there during an eagle's autopsy to refute that the actual cause of death was absolutely lead from shot or bullets? There is already a great deal of evidence that lead shot and other lead ammunition is not much, if any, of a real problem. It is manufactured hysteria aimed at making hunting and shooting less affordable and less appealing. Instead of waiting for lead bans to happen, and then starting threads on shotgun forums whining about the high cost or unavailability of bismuth or tungsten, it would be better to spend that time now, contacting your legislators and educating yourself on the issue.

If you think a lot of this inferior non-tox shot is expensive and hard to find now, just wait until lead bans cause greater demand for it. And what do you suppose will be the next step? They will go after bismuth because it can interfere with soil bacteria, and tungsten is linked to immune system suppression. Even copper is toxic and has been linked to the deaths of some California Condors. Anti-gunners will never stop with handguns, and anti-hunting forces will never stop with lead.

These anti-lead people are trying hard to discredit and demonize us. The best way to counter those kinds of dirty tricks is to catch them in their lies and take away their credibility. The global warming people kept a very low profile for a long time after the big scandal about falsified evidence came out. But they gradually became emboldened to make another run when the scandal was largely forgotten. It is no different with lead ammunition.


Voting for anti-gun Democrats is dumber than giving treats to a dog that shits on a Persian Rug
