Fellow Hunters Go Green

Looks like hunters, and all gun owners for that matter, now have a way of being more environmentally friendly. They can now choose to buy green bullets.

Green bullets are made of copper as opposed to the lead-based ammunition that has been sold and used for decades. Some environmentalists, scientists and hunters have begun wondering if bullets made with lead can be harmful to wildlife and humans.

As we all know lead is dangerous, but is lead-based ammunition a cause for concern? States like California and Arizona seem to think so, as they have banned the use of lead ammunition in most of their areas because it is home to the endangered condor. Arizona even gives out coupons, to promote the purchase of green bullets.

So far it seems tests are inconclusive as to if lead bullets hurt the environment and humans. Some tests say yes and other tests are inconclusive. What are your thoughts?
