Looks like they are going after the manufacturing process. I'll continue pouring my own weights and jigs.

We should be glad that it is not targeted just at lead use in fishing equipment. Having the gun guys involved will provide an organized approach. If it were left to us disorganized fishermen, it'd be game over.

yup.. the state rep for my bowclub says this is a federal attempt to shut down gun clubs and ranges.

Sort of like how obama hid his assault weapon (ban) agenda, under the "urban policy" link on whitehouse.gov
