A bill in WA to restrict lead ammo.

Every now and then a bill appears that bans or restricts lead ammunition. The lead styphnate used in primers is one of the primary sources of airborne lead that ends up in a shooter's bloodstream and organs. The lead plating out on barrels from cast bullets is another source. Children are most sensitive to lead contamination so protecting them from lead is a very valid issue.

Quote:

(1)(a) It is unlawful for any person to sell, transfer, give, or
otherwise make available any ammunition other than nonlead ammunition
to a person who is under the age of twenty-one years. For the
purposes of this section, "nonlead ammunition" means ammunition that
does not contain any lead content, excluding trace amounts of lead.
There are some exceptions;
Quote:

Subsection (1)(a) of this section does not apply to
ammunition that is given or permitted to be given to a person under
the age of twenty-one years by a parent or guardian of the person.
I'm sure most adults don't want to rely on their parents to obtain ammo or air rifle pellets.
