There is lots of hype, misinformation, and outright lies associated with the "banning" of lead bullets.
The current administration has refused to to along with the crazies who want the EPA to ban lead in bullets. The EPA has consistently stated that the agency lacks the authority to ban lead bullets.
Federal courts have ruled that the EPA lacks the authority to ban lead bullets:

If anyone wants to debate the "banning" of lead bullets by "executive order" take it to the political forum of this site and i'll willingly oblige.
falcon,
Yeah, like the NSA lacks the legal grounds to monitor your phone calls, your emails, your forum postings, including this one.
The purpose of executive orders seems to include circumventing the will of Congress, or bypassing the regulations of government agencies. I don't want to debate this, and I surely hope my concerns are not prophetic, but I think keeping our heads stuck in the sand is not a good option.
