Not Satire: Gun-Grabbers Attack Lead Supply Through EPA
2013-10-30

#22  #17 Why so glum chum?
It's because the EPA wants to do away with plumbum,


And you can't even exercise your green thumb in peace. Envirocops, native nazis, Monsanto, HOAs, "ooh, is that plant toxic?" peawits... don't get me started on this.

As a toddler, JohnQC
Was awful fond of his Pb
He gnawed on bullets and chewed on paints
Till his governess had to employ restraints

#21  Good news. Mexican drug cartels practically own lead mines in northern Mexico.

Just gotta get passed the murdering bastard thing.

Their misplaced zeal is so dumb,
I think I'll rest and for awhile go recumb,
I'm afraid they are all more than slightly off plumb,
All their efforts are in the name of forcing everyone to have a green thumb,
It all just makes my head numb.

#16  The entire world will run out of lead in 42 years.

Hey, let's slow down here. We're not done running out of all the stuff the Club of Rome said we were going to run out of back in the 70s.

#14  Down in San Diego the Honorary Deputy Sheriff's department runs a pistol range for all of Southern California's law enforcement. The range is on the Mirimar Marine base. Five or so years ago they spent a boatload of money cleaning up the range to remove lead from downrange. Claimed it was potentially poisonous to the groundwater.

This is not a new idea.

I could be wrong but I think you can just replace lead with another metal in ammo. We shoudl start melting down pennies.

#13  I recommend a few more Gov't contracts for small arms ammo. 40-50 billion rounds might not be enough when the factories stop. Of course there's always the Chinese.

"No, we are not going to initiate additional gun legislation. We have other plans in place".

#11  As a kid I use to melt down Tire balance weights found in the street to make fishing sinkers. Is the EPA going after those? I see alot more of those in the street than bullets.

#10  According to Wikipedia, it may not matter. The entire world will run out of lead in 42 years.

Of course by then global temperatures will have risen to the point that lead will melt. (according to Al Gore).

#9  Â“You go through the gate. If the gateÂ’s closed, you go over the fence. If the fence is too high, weÂ’ll pole vault in. If that doesnÂ’t work, weÂ’ll parachute in. But weÂ’re going to get health care reform passed for the American people.”

Says it all regarding the Donk agenda--the end justifies the means in their "collective" minds.

#6  ...now trucks that haul in the food etc, that's different. They have their undocumented laborers proles do that kind of gathering work.

#4  what about lead for car batteries?

#3  Looks like the EPA is to become America's equivalent of the old Ugandan State Research Bureau.
