from the first link:

The EPA first went after the Doe Run Co. and its smelting operation in 2008. President Obama took office in 2009. If enforcement of environmental safeguards was used to secretly undermine access to ammunition, the plot was launched by the notorious gun-grabbers in the Bush/Cheney administration.

Incurable, I'm afraid.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Lead is highly toxic to animals (including humans) and to the environment. Here in California, lead has been banned in certain types of hunting ammunition for that reason. Bullets can be made of other, less-toxic substances.

If the EPA is shutting down lead smelters, it's because lead is toxic, and that's a good thing.

Animals who were never shot themselves end up ingesting it and they sicken and die. Some of them, like the California condor, are at the brink of extinction. Others are not, but they still sicken and die.

Lead bullets are a holdover from the flintlock era, when a gun owner needed to make his own bullets and keep the powder in his powder horn dry. It's easy to melt lead down in a campfire or fireplace (try not to inhale the lead fumes) and you can re-use the bullets.

We don't use flintlocks anymore, and there are alternatives to lead that are not so dangerous to the environment.

Lead is poisonous. So is the NRA.

find out what is going on...

Oh and its old news too...from 2010...

They are a major polluter that has had a free hand pretending to monitor itself and failing poorly...

People are sick and dying from lead toxicity in the AIR WATER and SOIL...

They have been screwing with the EPA and been on the EPA's Radar since 2000...way before President Obama.

NOW from his own radical source trying to blame Obama the first paragraph explains WHY they are actually shutting down...

http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/constitution/item/16881-epa-closure-of-last-lead-smelting-plant-to-impact-ammunition-production

"The job cuts were expected. The plant, which has operated for more than a century and is the lone remaining lea"d smelter in the United States, announced in 2010 that it will cease operations at the end of this year.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said the company “made a business decision” to shut down the smelter instead of installing pollution control technologies needed to reduce sulfur dioxide and lead emissions as required by the Clean Air Act."

Drew...

Errr.... wouldn't that be when... never mind, he wouldn't believe it anyway.

they forgot to change the date to match Obama actually being in office.

before Obama was in the WH. But hey, why use actual facts when a bagger can blame it on the "angry black man"

This smelter processed raw lead. All ammunition suppliers use recycled lead in bullets.

LOL...

Ah back in the day...

Okay, back in the 90's



I'll have to say though, my pee never did glow in the dark. Although if you catch a catfish out of the Mississippi it just might

Too bad.

Regulations making it harder to make guns and ammo would be a nice workaround to the NRAssholes in Congress.
