GOT LEAD!?

Also worried are people in the shooting sports.

“This is a serious issue for anyone who likes to target practice, shoot for fun or enjoy hunting, and will be a huge impact on shooting ranges across the nation,” said Mike McCarter, range master of the Albany Rifle and Pistol Club, which maintains a range at Saddle Butte east of Shedd.

“We are energizing our membership to send letters to the EPA in opposition of this petition,” McCarter said in an e-mail.-[source]
