Will condors do us in?

Yeah, when I lived there it was already illegal in the condor range. I lived in that range, so it was relatively old news to me. They were planning to make it the whole state for a while. However, I was concerned about the target shooting stuff.

It is obviously a control issue! That's politics! It isn't left versus right, it is the amount of politics!

You can still shoot muzzleloaders with lead-free projectiles. Shotguns with lead shot on waterfowl had been illegal for a while before, so it wasn't "one piece of legislation". It was "one piece at a time" and unfortunately we didn't make it "cost them a dime"... or at least much more than that.

You can still hunt with rifles, .22s, and muzzle loaders, but unless the barrel has the correct twist for lighter non-tox ammo or sabots in the case of muzzel loaders, accuracy at longer ranges flags. In my mind this makes it an ethical problem. You work at achieving the best accuracy possible out of your rifle for the most humane shot,
and the State says "No."
 
Where is the outrage about the large numbers of protected birds which are maimed and killed by wind driven generators each year? In my neck of the woods it's Whooping Cranes , California the Golden Eagle.
This is about incremental gun control , not saving birds.
Windmills (made of non-biodegradable toxic resins and carbon fiber) = GOOD
Gun owners = BAD
 
This whole story reminds me of a medical study from about 30 years ago.

Doctors were worried about the levels of mercury in fish and were making all the usual end-of-the-world-as-we-know it cries.

Then someone found an old fish that had been taxidermied over a century ago with some flesh in it. Analysis of the flesh showed the same levels of mercury.
