As Jim Matthews, the editor of the Outdoor News Service, notes, "Most hunters believe this is merely another incremental step in an effort to ban hunting and/or firearms." Adds the National Shooting Sports Foundation's Ted Novin, "I think it's certainly possible that the gun-ban lobby and anti-hunting groups will use the unwarranted fear of lead ammunition to help achieve their goal...
