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.

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.
