An adverse ruling could have far-reaching impacts regarding lead and its Crimson Trace Announces
role in traditional forms of American outdoor recreation. NRA is joining
the lawsuit, along with SCI, to fight against the effort to ban traditional Master Series Lasergrips for the
lead ammunition. Documents filed in the lawsuit can be viewed here.

The lawsuit follows the EPA’s recent denial of a Petition that was filed to FEB 10, 2011 04:54P.M.
force EPA to pass regulations banning certain lead-based sporting
products, including ammunition and fishing tackle. The Petition and the Crimson Trace Announces Master Series Lasergrips for the
subsequent lawsuit were both filed by the Center for Biological Diversity 1911
(CBD) and joined by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility
(PEER) and “Project Gutpile.”
Though the EPA correctly denied the Petition, CBD and the other
plaintiffs refuse to accept that decision. They brought this lawsuit hoping
to have the EPA’s decision overturned by a court.
The legal argument being used to try to force EPA to ban lead
ammunition and fishing tackle is based on a nonsensical interpretation
of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), which includes a specific
exclusion for ammunition. TSCA, section 3(2)(B)(v)) precludes the EPA
from regulating ammunition. But, CBD wants a court to hold that the
TSCA ammunition exclusion does not apply to bullets and shot, because
neither bullets nor shot are actually “ammunition” (i.e., a shell, primer,
and projectile, etc., in one cartridge or unit). CBD’s argument is founded
on an inapplicable interpretation of a tax ruling issued by the IRS in 1954
that distinguished the sale of “separate parts of ammunition” and
complete ammunition for taxation purposes only. Crimson Trace Announces Master Series Lasergrips for the 1911
For many months the NRA has been spearheading an effort to gather
information and science to oppose the expansion of lead ammunition

targeting specific neighborhoods as the program did previously. But the

Seventeen years ago the NRA and CRPA joined forces to fight local gun
bans being written and pushed in California by the gun ban lobby. Their
coordinated efforts became the NRA/CRPA “Local Ordinance Project”
(LOP) – a statewide campaign to fight ill-conceived local efforts at gun
control and educate politicians about available programs that are
effective in reducing accidents and violence without infringing on the
rights of law-abiding gun owners. To contribute to the NRA or to the
