I hear Nosler is whumping up some non-lead bullets too. Rather than screw with California, I'm moving to Oregon. Easier to get out than face the regulations coming on my diesel trucks (they cause cancer), light bulbs, thermostats (they dropped the radio controlled ones they can remotely adjust for n...

First house I lived in when we moved from San Francisco south, was a Victorian that still had gas lights along with the new fangled electric lights. Pretty cool when the power went out! So, when they really go nuts and outlaw electric lights completely, well, all it takes is a little galvanized pipe...
