havesomeseichel,

As I wrote in my post, lead shot has been banned for waterfowl hunting in the entire US since 1991, yet guns are still available. So it’s possible that the ban on lead shot for hunting animals (as opposed to waterfowl) is part of a 30-year-plan to ban guns altogether. However, I think it’s more likely that the ban is due to relatively recent research showing adverse effects of even small amounts of lead exposure from sources as disparate as old peeling paint, lead crystal, and yes, lead shot. I understand the article you read showed no adverse effects, but the recent (as of 11/7/08) study released by the state DOH & the CDC did show adverse effects.
