For decades, gun control advocates have tried a roundabout way of banning guns by going after lead ammunition.<\/p>\n
This is their latest tactic<\/a>:<\/p>\n “New York is offering hunters rebates of up to $60 for purchasing and using lead-free ammunition during the 2026-27 big game hunting season. The state Department of Environmental Conservation<\/a> is offering the voluntary program in partnership with Conservation Science Global<\/a>. It will be available to firearm deer hunters statewide. According to the DEC, lead ammunition can fragment after striking an animal, with fragments traveling as far as 18 inches from the point of impact. Those fragments can remain in portions of a harvested deer left in the field and potentially expose scavenging wildlife to lead<\/strong> …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n This is complete bullshit. There are old lead mines throughout the NYC watershed in Columbia, Dutchess, Orange, Ulster, and Sullivan counties. You cannot contaminate an area with lead when lead exists there naturally and you can pick it up off the ground<\/a>. The stupid Fudds at NYSCC<\/a> will not call BS on this either.<\/p>\n
