Default Lead Ammunition Ban

Does anyone know anything about the EPA's plan to ban all ammunition that has a lead component, under the toxic materials act of 1976? Supposedly an anti-hunting organization has petitioned the EPA to do so. I heard the EPA is having a public comment period through October before the pull the plug on all ammunition, to include target ammo, that contains lead. At the same time the EPA will ban the use of all lead fishing sinkers and weights. They are doing this at the request of some anti-hunting, anti-fishing group.

Of course this is all illegal and an end run around congress. However, what the EPA is trying to do the Texas regarding the clean air act and our refineries and petro chemical industry is also illegal, but that isn't stopping them. Thankfully our Governor and Attorney General is standing up to the EPA and refusing to comply with their illegal directives.
