Don't Get the Lead Out

The anti-hunters at the Humane Society of the United States (the group that has nothing to do with your local animal shelter) are now trying to convince Americans that lead ammunition should be banned.

The HSUS says a new study from the CDC shows that those who eat harvested game have elevated levels of lead in their blood. But here's what HSUS isn't telling you.

According to that CDC study, which took place in North Dakota, the hunters and their families who ate harvested game had lower lead levels than the average American. In fact, the North Dakota State Department of Health says the highest lead level of an adult in the study was still below the CDC accepted lead level for a child, and was much lower than the CDC accepted lead level for an adult.

HSUS is once again relying on scare tactics to advance its agenda, and gun owners once again have truth on their side.

The State of Iowa did a similar study and found nothing. The original study was done by an animal rights group, some kind of bird group.
