‘There are people who would like to use a lead ban as a way to end hunting and as a way to end the right to bear arms,’ he said.

Marbut added that he doesn’t think all lead concerns are a cloaked threat to the Second Amendment. But the concern is legitimate and common enough among Montana’s hunters that the state’s own hunting and wildlife agency should not have been surprised when its lead ban proposal was met with a mountain of negative comments.

‘Anybody in Montana with a lick of sense should have been able to predict that,’ he said.

Not just Marbut and his group are concerned.

‘This is move straight out of the radical anti-hunting crowd’s playbook,’ reads a release sent out by the National Rifle Association last month.

The NRA encouraged its members to tell Montana’s commissioners to quash the ban and made the connection between the U.S. Humane Society’s call to ban all lead ammunition and its president’s stated desire to end all sport hunting.
