Today, 100 "different" (i.e. have different names but probably much of the same staff and funding sources) environmental groups have once again requested the EPA to ban lead ammo in shot and ammunition.

The difference this time according to the NYT, is that "hunters" are now onboard with this ban, although the only evidence they offer of it is the same Anthony Prieto guy who has been the "hunter" quoted in every story on this issue in the last ten years. More astroturfing I expect.
Not sure why the emphasis on this issue again since EPA's last answer was that they lacked the legal authority to regulate lead ammo; but given it is the silly season, it is worth keeping an eye on them.
