Bald Eagle preservation is it?
The former Green Peace loving administration permitted wind farms authorizing them an acceptable rate of kill on eagles and other birds of prey. So their existence is not sacred and as they are no longer threatened or endangered.
Since science is their argument, then science is ours, the percentage of shooters chosing to use damascus guns to shoot lead will be limited, as will the number of actual shots they take. They could be restricted from high volume areas. The actual threat generated is rather small compared to the green energy industry.
The only down side of it I can see is that there maybe some fool who fails to understand damascus ammunition limits and might blow their gun up.
If we can't account for a minut threat to eagles, then maybe we should go after the wind industry
Read what it says on your ammo box. The ammo makers have already sold the notion that Damascus is dangerous. Those guns shouldn't be shot. They've also sold the notion that a slightly longer shell in a shorter chamber is also dangerous--which we also know is false. But in both cases, care is needed on the part of the shooter in his choice of loads. That's WAY too complex for most people beyond our merry little band here to grasp. Besides which, for those who do shoot Damascus, it's possible to reload with bismuth, ITX, etc.
The wind industry gets a pass because wind energy is good for the environment. Reduces reliance on fossil fuels. So we sacrifice some eagles for the greater good. Sacrificing them to lead shot is unnecessary. That's the "defensive" we're up against.
