EPA Goes After Second Amendment

Written By : Dave Blount

Absurd as it may sound, the most immediate threat to our constitutional liberties is not the adolescent Marxist in the White House or our soon to be lame duck left-wing Congress, but the Environmental Protection Agency. The Supreme Court’s insane ruling that the EPA has authority to regulate CO2 emissions theoretically gives it control over literally all human activity, including breathing. Not even our constitutional right to bear arms escapes the reach of the unelected, unaccountable environazis of our horrifically metastasizing government’s most malignant agency.

The U.S. Supreme Court says Americans have an individual right to keep and bear arms. The EPA says the bullets for those guns may be banned as an environmental hazard.

The endless power grabs by the federal leviathan know no boundaries of law, science or even common sense. The Environmental Protection Agency of Lisa Jackson is seriously considering a petition by the Center for Biological Diversity, a leading anti-hunting group, to ban all traditional lead ammunition under the Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA) of 1976.

If the EPA approves the petition, the result will be a ban on all ammunition containing lead-core components. Bullets made of material other than lead are often considered armor-piercing by law and are banned. So this amounts to gun control by stealth.

As always with ecofascism, the eco- is just a fig leaf for the fascism. This has nothing to do with the environment.

[T]here is no scientific basis for restricting lead ammunition on the basis of protecting the health of humans or wildlife.

Sure you have a right to bear arms. But where does the Constitution say you have a right to bear ammunition? Meanwhile, the EPA itself has been stocking up on weapons.

Use different bullets, jackass.

StanW

Hey, I've got an idea. Let's ban Islam and Catholicism. if you want to practice your religion, use a different one.

How's that Huron?

Huron Voyager

I'm an agnostic. I'm not religious, jackass.

But you are an idiot!

I'd rather we just ban Canadians.

Meekrob

Or at least the really stupid ones.

StanW

Answer the question, Huron. Woudl that be OK?
mightysamurai

What a pathetic dodge.

Answer the question, Huron. If it's possible to ban certain kinds of ammunition without violating the Second Amendment, shouldn't it also be possible to ban certain kinds of religions or certain kinds of religious symbols or certain kinds of churches without violating the First Amendment?

Like cop killer bullets? Because that's the alternative. Just admit you want people to not buy bullets and get it out of your system, Hoggo.

The EPA also ruled milk to be the same as petroleum for cleanup and prevention measures required.

Much more expense, jackass….especially when you consider the shortage that will follow such a law. Besides…..its a solution to a NON-PROBLEM. So kindly f*ck off.

On a side note, I said this would be the route obama would take. He cant go after the gun, but he will try and render it useless with an ammo shortage etc. The EPA does not have the authority to do this.

I wonder when they'll finally decide that certain kinds of speech (those running counter to the official narrative) are bad for the environment because they make people question the need for all these laws (which naturally are beneficial to the government).

We may very well get a fascist government here under the guise of saving the cute little animals. What a disappointing way to go out. Would have been far better for the US to lose wwIII with the soviets, or succumb to foreign invasion, or get wiped out by a meteroite than to fall to our own gullibility.

http://www.patriotpost.com bthewolf

Why? What threat to the general enviroment is a small piece of lead, especially in my house?

Oh and also show me where in the COTUS the EPA can regulate these things without Congress.
UFKA_Smithwick

I'd rather try for a different government, thanks.
mightysamurai

What other bullets? Did you even bother to read the post? Bullets without lead content are considered “armor-piercing rounds” and are banned themselves.

Huron Voyager

I don't read the posts. I only skim them.

Wiff O'Grapeshot

Well, that explains a few things.
UFKA_Smithwick

It says pretty clearly that bullets not made of lead are already banned as the ever so scary “cop killer” bullets.

So if all bullets made out of lead are banned, and all not made out of lead are banned, what does that leave?

blkdragon

“So if all bullets made out of lead are banned, and all not made out of lead are banned, what does that leave?”

Useless guns exactly as the anti-gun crowd wants.

TheDickNixon

You don't think, you just post talking points.
mightysamurai

I don't read the posts.

Yeah, I figured as much. Maybe this will serve as a lesson to be less of a goddamn idiot in the future.

blkdragon

LOL, you wish.

That explains your stupidity.

Shocker.

Oh incidentally, the Toxic Substance Control Act specifically excludes ammunition from its legislation.

Heyblinken

Just because it isn't in the law doesn't mean it cannot become law; like the funding of abortions in the health-care reform act. Everything is on the table under this regime, if they cannot push something through the normal channels of law making, they will make if law by presidential proclomation. Same dif.

http://www.wordaroundthenet.com Christopher Taylor

Yeah, well they'd try, like they did with stem cell research and oil drilling. Sometimes the courts actually stop the power grab, sometimes not.

CoolCzech

It's OK, come January we'll defund the EPA and THAT will be THAT.

http://www.wordaroundthenet.com Christopher Taylor

You wish. We're electing Republicans, not conservatives. Not much will change other than slowing the leftist advance.

Huron Voyager

Why the hell not just form an actual Tea Party then, rather than continuing to be pawns of the Republican Party?

http://www.wordaroundthenet.com Christopher Taylor

It took leftist scum like your hitler-loving poor-bashing self over 50 years to get the US to where it is now, it will take at least that long to repair the damage if possible. One small step at a time. Wanting everything done all at once is a childish attitude.

Huron Voyager

Perhaps, but if the movement doesn't seize the moment it could fade away.
http://www.wordaroundthenet.com Christopher Taylor

Even if that is true, your real concern is that Conservatives are mobilized and active and you want the Republican party to lose so you want Conseratives to abandon it. Your attempt at deception is pathetically feeble.
mightysamurai

Just about everything about Huron is pathetically feeble.

Well, except for his entertainment value. That's quite robust.

mightysamurai

Heh. Try actually attending a Tea Party protest some time. It'll be a big education for you.

Living_Right_In_CA

Very depressing read after returning from the range today. I actually hope the EPA goes for it and costs the Dems so more seats in both houses.
http://profiles.yahoo.com/u/6LBOTTXLWWGPKRINIBFFLAAQEM Reckless

Doh! Pretty much says you can only use armor piercing ammo from now on. Makes no sense
http://www.wordaroundthenet.com Christopher Taylor

The EPA rejected the idea of banning lead ammunition. US News & World Report wrote about this under the spectacularly unbiased and neutral headline: EPA Surrenders to NRA on Gun Control Issue.

http://politics.usnews.com/news/washington-whis…

CoolCzech

So the US News & World Report mean the proposal to ban lead ammunition was Gun Control issue, NOT an Environmental issue at all???

You mean the liberals are misusing such seemingly “environmental issues” as lead ammo and Global Warming to achieve Political Ends?

Go figure…

http://www.wordaroundthenet.com Christopher Taylor

Yeah, that's pretty much what they're implying. Sad stuff but not really surprising.

CoolCzech

Well, it turns out that the 2nd Amendment is not the ONLY part of the Constitution “progressives” (i.e., liberal moronic loons that should be deported for being unAmerican) are just itching to jettison…

Word is slowly trickling out that not only do Liberals side with the Muzzies against the 60 or 70 percent of all Americans that oppose the GZ Mosque, they are ALSO now planning on FUNDING the mosque with OUR TAX DOLLARS.

How Great is THAT???

FINALLY the Liberals have managed to get over that whole “separation of church and state” thing they've used for 20 years now to destroy the Spirit of Christmas and American values! And they did so in order to support a radical Imam's mosque! WOW! How progressive!

Which brings up something I've worried about for a while… we're no longer allowed to use the dating terms B.C. and A.D., because, don't you know, those are Christ-centric expressions and some mentally retarded little Muslim boy might pee his pants in the 1st grade if he sees them in his text book right before he pulls the ripcord on the explosives Mommy carefully packed in his lunch box.

SO, instead we're supposed to use “BCE” and “CE,” for Before the “Common” Era and “Common Era.” How nice! How Multicultural!”

EXCEPT… except… there is nothing “common” about calendar that begins with the birth of Christ at all with Jews, Buddhists… and Muslims. Which begs the question, well, if not our traditional dating system, which system should we use to number years??

Given the giddiness with which liberals support the GZ Mosque, their eagerness to set aside their militant anti-God agenda just so they can publicly fund it… Shouldn't we adopt a calendar that numbers years based on the birth of Mohammed? I'm sure that would give Mayor Bloomberg his first chubby in years!!
