must I do your job for younz kidz???? The authors of the report concluded that a better understanding of the toxicity and amount of lead poisoning in reptiles and aquatic birds related to fishing tackle is needed, as well as more information on the hazards of spent ammunition and mobilized lead at or near shooting ranges. In addition, the authors suggested that a more detailed knowledge of how lead shot and fishing tackle specifically affect wildlife here and in other countries is essential, as well as studies that evaluate the effects on wildlife health and ecosystems of regulations restricting the amount of lead ammunition and lead fishing tackle. http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/article.asp?ID=1972 ..L.T.A.

ok genie, we get it... our point: nothing wrong yet, but could possibly be in the future, so let's do something about it now. yours: I am not going to pay a few more dollars to prevent something I'm not 100 percent sure will happen. I want evidence. Evidence, of course, relies on the fact that something has to of happened to be studied, which, going back to my earlier post, means it's already too late.

"Sure, we can assiduously three-quarter our wets downstream, mend and wait out each fly swing, over and over again, which to my way of thinking, anyway, relegates the angler to the role, not of nemesis as it should be, but of butler." -Art Lee

"we know Poison Ivy and Hemlock are toxic too.
do you advocate ridding the shore lines of them???"
No, but I WOULD advocate not planting them in & around playgrounds, and childcare centers.

i already told you has nothing to do with money on "my" part, son your point; Why not do it? it "feels" like the right thing to do My point; you have no data to support your stance You obviously have no clue of the VALID reasons why a ban "might" be appropriate in some areas, or you would of used them in our debate. It took me all of 5 minutes to find them..and it's NOT about contaminating the water. You continue to base your arguments on ignorance and "feelings" , not knowledge My point duo; get a fookin clue, Junior , cause when I'm "real" old and being spoon fed my strained peas, you appleknockers will be running the country. I'd prefer you run it based on KNOWLEDGE and GOOD reasoning borne of credible research . Not jumping on some "feel good" bandwagon without examining the details ..l.T.A.

no... you basically reworded what I said about you, without the money part, that's all.
