That is great news!
Though according to some forum members you can't trust what you read on fox (faux)news.
Also did you not know that endangered Alaskan condors injest lead in dead animals and are now facing extinction?
You need to find it on a more credibal unbiased news source such as MSNBC.
All kidding aside that is great news!"The closer I get to nature the farther I am from idiots"

In 1991, the government adopted a nationwide ban on lead shot in migratory waterfowl hunting after biologists estimated 2 million ducks died each year from ingesting spent lead pellets."

OK, so it's delayed right now, but the "Premise" for doing it is STILL THERE. And, it ain't goin away as long as Junk Science prevails.
(2 Million Ducks??? How many ducks are killed by hunters each year?)

The TSCA <LINK> is pretty specific in scope, and it only really deals with lead in the context of lead based paint.
No-one had, or will have, reason to believe that the EPA wants and will one day regulate/ban lead bullets.
It's all just a huge misunderstanding. Thanks for setting us straight. AS USUAL.
You are soooo predictable.

I believe this passed. Thats why the judge ruled the way he did. Hopefully this holds them off for awhile on our lead ammo.

Bullets
When House Republican leadership held a press conference Wednesday morning, Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) could have chosen any number of elements of the omnibus to highlight. He opted for a provision preventing the Environmental Protection Agency from passing any rule “to regulate the lead content of ammunition, ammunition components, or fishing tackle under the Toxic Substances Control Act.” He said the threat of such a rule had made it so hard to buy ammo that people can’t even find it at Walmart."The closer I get to nature the farther I am from idiots"

Opinion for the Court filed by
Circuit Judge TATEL.
"EPA went on to explain that, even were it to consider the petition, it would deny it on the merits because another provision of TSCA, section 3(2)(B)(v), exempts cartridges and shells from the definition of "chemical substance."
SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS.
(2)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), the term ‘‘chemical
substance’’ means any organic or inorganic substance of a particular
molecular identity, including—
(v) any article the sale of which is subject to the tax imposed
by section 4181 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954
(determined without regard to any exemptions from such tax
provided by section 4182 or 4221 or any other provision of such
Code), and
looks to me like ammunition is exempt just as stated.Andy

26 U.S. Code § 4181 - Imposition of taxThere is hereby imposed upon the sale by the manufacturer, producer, or importer of the following articles a tax equivalent to the specified percent of the price for which so sold:
Pistols.
Revolvers.
Firearms (other than pistols and revolvers).
Shells, and cartridges.
Plain as day these things are 100% exempt from the TSCA just as was stated!
It isn't as you say "incorrect and misleading to state that it "exempts" them" as it in full fact does exempt them.Andy
