CA MOVING TO EFFECTIVELY BAN AMMUNITION

by Bob Walsh

Assuming it is passed into law AB 3071 (Mullin, D-22) would ban the use of all ammunition that has not been certified as Lead Free and sport shooting ranges, including indoor ranges. It also prohibits those ranges from selling or giving away ammunition that has not been certified as lead free for use at those facilities. There is very little ammunition that is totally lead free and that which is available is damn expensive. Even if you have a totally non-lead bullet most primers are made with lead compounds.

Interestingly enough the bill, as it is currently written, does NOT exempt government agencies.
