The job of the NRA, one of the most powerful lobbies in America, is to influence legislators over a wide range of concerns, including the lead ban. It recognizes as do most members that wining and dining legislators to revoke no-lead is futile. Rightly or wrongly, lead is being removed from everything; majority will is demanding it. Expending resources fighting lost causes diminishes NRA's credibility and mandate to protect our fraternity's interests. I've adjusted my thinking to no-tox for the remainder of my life and the sacrifices needed to pay for it.
