havesomeseichel,
I see that you don’t think the government should pass legislation to protect public health. I think many hunters agree with you about this, and that (along with the greater cost of lead-free shot) is why they object to these laws. I don’t want to argue in circles either, but since you originally posted that these laws were an attempt to ban guns, I wanted to make clear that this isn’t the case. Rather, the ban on lead ammunition is a ban on one type of shot only, not on hunting itself.
