Responding to a grassroots outcry from gun owners, the Environmental Protection Agency today announced that it has denied a petition by the Center for Biological Diversity and other radical groups that had sought to ban the use of lead in ammunition.
Agreeing with the position of the NRA and the firearms industry, the agency explained in a news release that it "does not have the legal authority to regulate this type of product under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)." Further crushing the hopes of anti-gun and anti-hunting activists, the release added: "nor is the agency seeking such authority."
There are cracks showing. In this liberal Congress's armor. Usually I'd have been worried about this but it was becoming common knowledge that the EPA had been given the word from on high; NO banning of lead bullets. As we all know, the NRA is a one-topic association and has supported liberal Congress critters in the past, and with most politicians holding on for dear life these days they obviously didn't want to own a dog in this fight.
Whoops. Now more hate mail from PETA. That's always fun.
