I've located several articles that aren't "anti lead ban", but present information and research data that states the lead ban is pretty much a waste.
Google "lead ammo ban" and you will find article after article after article of "research"(?) supporting the banning of lead, both shot and bullets and just how deadly lead is.
Now try and Google for articles saying the lead ban is not necessary.
You will find very few, but your search will still bring up multiple "lead ban" articles.
Before you get all bent out of shape, I'm not saying a lead ban is "bad", but is it "necessary"?
I think there are some agendas thrown into it, I also think there is a lot of truth to it. I am willing to read any articles you post without judgement. I believe there was a meateater podcast on the topic and Jim Heffelfinger, who I enjoy listening to at times, went over the different scenarios where he believed lead free ammo was and wasn't justified. Might be worth checking out.
I believe in Oregon the OHA, BHA, and others are working with ODFW on a program to encourage voluntary lead-free ammo use in hunting. I don't know the specifics but a person can put their finger up and easily see which way the wind is blowing. Condor re-introduction in Oregon is likely to happen in the coming decades and hunters will need to carefully choose which voice they will put forward.
