Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke Scraps Obama Ban on Lead Bullets

lead-bullets-1This low hanging fruit is a good start.

(Wash. Times) Hours after literally riding into town on a horse for his first day on the job, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke on Thursday scrapped an Obama-era ban on hunting with lead bullets on federal lands.

The Federal Government has stepped out of the way and left the matter of what ammunition to use (on Federal Land) up to hunters. This is not the first devolution of power by the Trump Administration from the federal government to the States or (in this instance) the people.

Why bring that up? Well, folks calling Trump fascist but real fascists never devolve power they already have. They use the law to protect or collect power. They use the law to constrict. They allow violence by inaction to justify more regulations or stricter laws that give them more authority. They encourage any violence that serves as a tool to intimidate and silence dissenters. They approve of anything that frees them to move more power to the center.

These are all tools of the left. They are also the tools of fascists, socialists, communist, third world dictators, Black Lives matter, and yes!, the progressive “resistance.” They are all on the left. They all have similar goals.

As for Trump, he’s only been at this for a month but the early game has been one of reducing arbitrary power grabs from the hands of the Federal Government. Moves that have had some curious reactions from progressive states like California.

How will the Golden State respond to Sec. Zinke’s change of policy? They have their own lead bullet ban. Will this give them another reason to support the tenth amendment and state sovereignty?

I’m not expecting to see liberal states pushing the feds to give back control of federal land to the states but I’d applaud it. Mr. Zinke should feel encouraged to get around to that as soon as possible whether the Progressive California moon-bats put up a stink about lead bullets on Federal land inside their state or not.
