Fine, I will just used STEEL bullets in my .45 ACPs. Of course being only 160 grains, they will be moving at 1300 ft/sec so they will do more damage.

If you have the time to firemission a poll, you have the time to do this. http://www.ruger.com/micros/advocacy/ Then, send it to all your friends. Post it on FaceBook. Then hit it again... and again... and again. I've been doing this every single day for the past week. Yes, it gets a canned response, but the numbers and the pro-gun position gets recorded.

No theft needed. I know where to access a huge supply of lead from specific areas accessible only by scuba diving.
I used to dive in some old fishing areas on the coast many years ago. Areas with riprap were most prone to snags. A pair of scissors and some cheap side cutters made quick work of the lines. A lift bag and a sturdy container to bring it to the surface is the only extra gear needed. I hauled in hundreds of pyramid and tear drop sinkers typically 3-4 oz each per trip. Some of clean tackle and sinkers were given to the fishermen as a sign of good will for diving in "their fishing hole" Others were brought home and melted down into 10 and 20 pound blocks that I use for holding down tarps etc. I would love to make a trip back down and see how many we can get after 20 years. |

Ban lead. Ban Barnes Solid bullets because they are "armor piercing." Then sic the EPA/ATF on anyone making any other types of bullets until there is nothing left.

Brother, can you spare some bullets for a reloader? Hmm, I just did some very rough calculations and it came to about $60 for a single 150 gr .308 bullet. Can that be right? ETA: Gold looks like $517 for the same bullet. Just trying to keep my options open. |

The lead is going away in wheel weights - most are zinc or steel now.
Barnes has been attacked by the BATF for making bronze solids already. Steel bullets mentioned above are illegal already - along with several other alternative materials already mentioned. Lead cores have been banned for hunting in many places. We are kind of pushed in to a corner here. Without lead cores, and prohibiting solids in copper & it's alloys we will be limited to things like the Barnes X bullet, or powdered tungsten cores - both very expensive. . |
