Quit giving them ideas.

Maybe they need to outlaw the electric ones because animals can't hear them coming -- or at least outfit them with some sort of noisemaker (audible to the driver) that makes noises like a real vechile. grin grin

If they don't want me to use lead ammo, I'll sell it all back to them at retail prices. I got copper.

It was nice of them to include data in the article showing just how rediculous and unnecessary this proposal is.

Good post and a good way to show the stupidity involved in their decision making!


Yes, the data speaks volumes. With 300,000 birds now in the population, mortaily from all causes has to also increase, so it should be no surprise that incidents of lead poisoning, a relatively rare occurrance, are up as well.
