Did I? I'm pretty sure this thread was started to gauge interest in a completely voluntary, sportsman-led initiative that has absolutely nothing to do with government and here we are on page 5 with guys warning about magazine bans in New York and suggesting that anyone who disagrees with them is retarded.
I appreciate the input, especially from the CA residents here. I hated just about every day of the 18 months I was stationed there, and feel really horrible for guys who have watched progressives twist facts to basically punish outdoorsmen. However, I'll observe this: There was no voluntary program like this in CA prior to the ban. Doubtful much would have changed if there had been, since CA is so communist anyway, but in other more reasonable states, a program like this could be a really powerful talking point to show that government involvement is unnecessary.
And, since it's been asked quite a few times, here is another independent
study having nothing to do with CA or AZ or condors or any other political prop that shows pretty clearly what happens when game animals are shot with lead. I again have no dog in this fight, other than not wanting my family to eat toxins, but the science is pretty conclusive on the specific question of whether lead from bullets can be found in game animals.
