NRA might be bankrupt but they seem to still get the job done.

Chapter 11 doesn't mean out of business.

So, it can't be a federal law, but states can still require non-lead ammo? It seems the more we "progress" the more we get mired down in the mud.

Seems to me the biggest win is that states maintain the right to regulate hunting on Federal land. Who cares about the ammo? And I bet if it wasn't for the ammunition angle, the NRA couldn't have cared less. mtmuley

Nice Job NRA!

"On April 1st, a federal judge in Arizona sided with NRA-ILA and Safari Club International and held that hunters’ use of traditional ammo does not violate federal environmental law."

The case dates back to 2012, when a group sued the U.S. Forest Service. The group alleged that by allowing hunters to hunt with traditional lead ammo in the 1.6-million-acre Kaibab National Forest—which is authorized by Arizona state law—the Forest Service was violating the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. That Act was originally passed in 1976, to address the increasing amount of municipal and industrial waste that was being disposed of at the time. But over time, it has been used to attack gun owners and shooting ranges.
