[QUOTE="buckeye, post: 859382, member: 8467"] Unfortunately, the political climate is such that they'd have a pretty easy time passing a lead ammo ban. Ugly business. Look at leaded solder in Europe - they've forced everyone to go with lead free stuff that's harder to work with and hasn't proven its longevity - items deemed "critical" (medical machines, military electronics, etc.) are still permitted to use leaded, but the plebes can't touch the good stuff anymore. Here's a discussion on an engineering forum: [url]http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=140200&page=1[/url] Including this link: [url]http://www.rtcmagazine.com/home/article.php?id=100455[/url] Long and short, lead from solder makes up such a tiny fraction of overall lead pollution that switching to lead-free solder is largely symbolic, environmentally speaking.
