Oh, I have no doubts about that at all. Same here, I just hope that we can do something about it.

That's an excellent point. These people find money to push this agenda about, surely there is enough on our side to extrapolate their plastics research to include other stuff - like computer keyboards. People spend a lot more time touching keyboards than they do firearms or bullet tips.

See link below: Proposing ban on Plastic-tipped bullets and synthetic firearms parts: BPA leaching Risk September 03, 2010, 5:08 PM EDT- 1 hour ago;
CALIFORNIA - A new study is examining hunting and military firearms stocks/parts (the part of a firearm that comes in contact with the hands and face) and plastic-tipped bullets to determine if there is leaching of potentially harmful bisphenol A, an endocrine-disrupting chemical.
Although environmental scientists maintain that the forms of plastics that can leak out bisphenol A may not be found in certain firearms, plastic-tipped bullets and other parts, they bring in to question whether arms and ammunition manufacturers have looked into the matter and how much Government intervention there should be to protect public and private firearms users and the environment.
The toxicity for our military and hunting fraternity, as well as, wildlife is still very much in debate since the amounts found in some plastics were well below the Environmental Protection Agency�s standards; however, a few scientists maintain that this type of chemical could cause behavioral and neurological problems if exposure is frequent, long-lasting or if it can leach into the skin during recoil (high friction to skin when a bullet is fired).
Furthermore, the plastic-tipped bullets could pose environmental concerns to wildlife like the California Condor. For instance, a similar study on lead hunting bullets resulted in a banning of the use of lead bullets in California by the State's Senate when it was found that the lead could harm the California Condor and other wildlife. Assembly Bill 821 bans the use of lead bullets for hunting within California. The bill was sponsored by Assemblyman Pete Nava and has letters of support from a number of conservation and environmental groups.
Any established link to potential harm for humans or wildlife, some environmentalists argue, is unacceptable and would imply support of the use of BPA-containing plastics that are currently being recalled by some plastics manufacturers. Where did you dig this up, I can't find any info anywhere. Can you give me a link?

My thoughts exactly and immediately Terry! it is almost like "law makers" have ran out of stuff to screw up.. and now they are trying to create problems that don't exist, so they can justify their existence by making us all think we need them to solve it.. the main role of the government anymore..

This is total junk science masquerading as "health issue" which is just an excuse to impose a de facto ban on some ammunition and gun parts, its so obvious its sad just looking at the real motivation behind this. Time would be better spent and more productive testing plastic toys made in China.
Is it too ambitious or too naive to look for an honest politician? Or simply a useful one?

I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that this study will be funded with federal stimulus money.

If I found out I had 6 months to live I'd kill a few condors with a [bleep]. Steelhead, you mean like grabbin' the dude by the ankles and beating the condors to death with him?

Go through and read what the origanal poster has put up on here since he's joined yesterday. He's a troll of the highest order.
The subject of this thread is likely a product of his vivid imagination.

Well if it is a troll it's pretty good one. I did find many studies from all over the country in regards to the dangers of bisphenol A in plastics, just can't find anything on plastic stocks or bullet tips. Nagleen bottles and bisphenol A, plenty of articles, but that is about all I can find.
Oh well, CA sucks teet anyway.
