				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On April 9, 2015, the California Fish and Game Commission (CFGC) adopted regulations</a> to ban the use of traditional lead-component ammunition for all hunting in the state by July 1, 2019. The <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2015/04/09/california-officially-bans-hunters-from-using-lead-bullets/" target="blank">Daily Caller</a> reports: &#8220;In a unanimous vote, the Commission opted to phase out lead bullets, which hunters&#8217; groups are calling a de-facto ban on hunting in the state.&#8221; The new regulations will be implemented in multiple phases, starting with the 2015 hunting season. These tough new regulations were issued pursuant to legislation passed in 2013 by the California legislature and signed by Gov. Jerry Brown.</p>

<p>The National Shooting Sports Foundation is worried that California-style ammo bans will be adopted in other states. To some observers, California&#8217;s ban on lead-based ammunition was designed more to reduce gun sales and halt hunting than it was ever intended to help the environment. The NSSF has shown that the elimination of traditional lead ammo will do little, if anything to improve the environment in any meaningful way. What such bans WILL do is raise the cost of ammo and make it more difficult to hunt. The NSSF explains: &#8220;Anti-hunting groups use the supposed harm caused by traditional ammunition as a wedge issue to further their ultimate political agenda of banning hunting across the country.&#8221; The NSSF has provided the real facts via an <a href="http://www.nssfblog.com/infographic-ammunition-under-attack/" target="_blank">infographic</a> and the YouTube video embedded below.</p>
