EPA to Ban Lead Bullets

Several environmental groups have petitioned the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ban lead shot, bullets, and fishing sinkers under the Toxic Substances Control Act.

In banning the use of 'toxic' lead in bullets, a precedent will likely be set for the EPA to also ban plutonium, generally recognized as a most toxic substance, in ballistic missile warheads. Bullets, warheads, pretty much the same, eh?
