Good work, everyone.
I think they'll be back, but so will we.
The wildlife seems to be doing OK with the current type of ammunition and fishing weights. A Californian says the condors don't seem to be faring any BETTER for their statewide ban on lead for hunting.
NEXT?!

We'll place those "plans" on hold for now, pending the next assault on our rights.

We all know they'll come back again, until a really hard lesson is taught.

This could also be used, to our benefit down the road. Not just with this issue. The EPA admitted they didn't have the authority to do this. When is the last time we have heard ANY federal organisation say something like that? I can't think of one on the top of my head.

This could be beneficial to liberty if played right.

Still the ammo part is dead, but the fishing tackle part is not. I say don't give them anything. The feds, the EPA or the anti-hunting nutjobs. Even if you don't fish.

Good for THEIR health they decided not to overeach, yet again. But as far as the EPA goes, piss on them, they're nothing but collectivist,revisionist, stooges.

I would add one qualifier to the headline – it should read “EPA Rejects Unconstitutional Calls .......”. The Toxic Substances Control Act is itself unconstitutional, and even it specifically disallows regulation of ammunition. If following the Constitution, no law, existing or otherwise, can be used to do this. But then, when I read the English language, I normally interpret things as they are written, and do not devise new and improved meanings for words and phrases. When something says “is” or “shall not”, I know what that means. Maybe I’m just not as smart as Clinton and others in Congress. Perhaps, just perhaps, it’s that pesky voice called “conscience”, which says “this isn’t right ...”

To paraphrase Ahnold, "They'll be back."
My guess is right after the November election.

Wow! I didn't even have a chance to write my scathing letter to my congress-critters.

I am sure a swift and vociferous response from gun-owners is what caused this quick about face from the EPA. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when the director got a call about this one...

Great job well done.

First off liberals lie and are known liars. Look at how they say that 30,000 people in America die from gun violence every year. Yet they don't say that half of them are people that took their own life. Trying to make it sound like they all were murdered. Which brings us to the 20 million number of wildlife dying from lead poising. I want to know were they got that number. My hunch is more of the same in gathering such a number, half truths and bold faced lies.
