I've been able to various caliber of bullets at my local Wal-mart recently. Pretty much all rifle rounds except .22s are in stock. 9mm and other pistol rounds hit and miss. Three box limit.

Maybe Corneyhole can have Glenna get him some ammo. Of course, he might want to check it and make sure that it fits any of his firearms, otherwise he'll have to resort to a slingshot.

Your so concerned about lead being pumped into the air from a smelter that's hundreds of miles away from you. But I bet you're not one bit concerned or even knowledgeable about a an element that is twice as toxic as lead and you consume it every day.

You know, 59 tons sounds like a lot but it isn't. It just sounds bad like Timmie sounds smart.
According to a green web site 3 million tons of toxic waste is put in the air every year. So lets see 59 tons divded by 3,000,000 and we get .00000196%. Sorry Timmie, you sound stupid and naive.

Are you kidding me?
The lead pollution is in the AIR. It circles around the globe.
Just like carbon dioxide does. We get just as much greenhouse effect from a pound of CO2 that we put in the air as we get from a pound of CO2 that the Chinese put in the air.
But the Chinese will undoubtedly NOT use the same amount of pollution controls that we use. So, they will pump more lead (just like more CO2) into the air in performing the same manufacturing processes that we would have.
If we put it in the air, it will be 59 tons. If the Chinese do the same manufacturing, they will probably put 65 or 70 tons in the air.

Sounds bad until you consider how heavy lead is. It has a density of 19,100 lbs per cubic yard:
http://www.convert-me.com/en/convert.../denslead.html
So that 59 tons is about 6.17 cubic yards.
That is a cube about 5.5 feet per side. You can fit it easily in a pickup truck bed. Of course, the pickup would be crushed, but that's a different story.
So the real question is how much effect that 5.5 ft cube will have once it is spread through millions of cubic miles of US atmosphere. Not much I would say.
How many lives will be saved? One per decade?

Drunk posting again?
"Uncongressional approval"? Is that an approval by an Uncongress?
Is it anything like "without Congressional approval".
And "expo" facto? Does that have something to do with facts relating to an exposition?
Is that anything like "ex post facto"?
Another blow to literacy and we see who's spouting it.

Hey it was late and I was writing fast....and you understood exactly what I was saying didn't you?
When you are going to impact an entire industry and destroy jobs I would think that this would be something that the voice of the people should be heard. Unelected people making such far reaching regs is a sign of a tyranny.
Oh, I don't drink so don't sound stupid with dumb charges though I have been running a lowgrade fever the last few days off and on. Damn kids are carrying pestilence.

Actually there is movement of removing lead from bullets for hunting. California became the first state in the nation to forbid using lead bullets for all forms of hunting.
