Late Friday, the Environmental Protection Agency added another victory to the list as it shot down an attempt to undermine the Second Amendment through the regulation of bullets.
Apparently this was an OK Corral too far. Or, more likely, a trial balloon to see how much excitement they could generate. These little despots will not stop until we make it clear that we will not tolerate their tyranny.

This time, however, the EPA did not make its decision on the merits of the argument. The agency instead agreed with an Aug. 20 filing from the National Rifle Association that explained how Congress had specifically excluded ammunition from the Toxic Substances Control Act which governs potentially harmful materials such as lead.

Along these lines, while I'm thinking about it, I've finished the basic series on the Prudence blog. Feel free to check out my thoughts on possible preparations.

Eli's coming.
I don't have any bullets, but I can scare up some garlic and wooden stakes pretty quickly. I mean, it would be my pleasure.
