As far as I know , not one person involved in the banning of lead ammunition here in the UK is a shooting person , our National Shooting organisations are not robustly defending their membership against proposed change , just rolling over easily .
Historic Bore,
"Apparently bird shot from game and clay shotgun cartridges contribute 96 % of the lead problem."
What is the problem please?
LEAD comes out of the ground in the first place.
As you may have guessed I oppose any lead ban .
Salopian
These comments from Salopian pretty much tell us all we need to know. It appears that the majority of UK shooters and gun owners are accepting the lead ammo ban as inevitable.
Salopian and a small minority are not going to be able to stop or reverse it. It takes some effort and money to fight these things, and they can be beaten. But having a large number of gun owners who simply roll over, or say that it won't affect them too badly because they are older virtually insures losing.
They are not unlike the shooters and gun owners here in the U.S. who foolishly continue to support anti-gun Democrats. You can't fix stupid, but you also don't have to accept stupid. You don't have to be nice to back-stabbers.
