Should outright ban this primitive and archaic hobby.
I mean regardless of your position on hunting, it's also good to do this in general as it'll also mean those who clay pigeon shoot and similar won't be polluting specific areas with lead.
Especially if they start throwing clay pigeons.
The solution to the gun problem is always more guns
Fascists don't need guns to kill people, they have masks and cages.

Yeah that gun is going to do so much when the state bombs you or sends a drone.

No, just statistically you are more likely to kill yourself with your own gun than kill a Nazi with it. 🤷
Indeed!
This is not to say that separately they shouldn’t separately and sooner (more easily) ban lead.
