Dont forget the germans that banned the lead free bullets, they have a much higher risk of richoshets, even streight back on the shooter.

This lead bann is only a "modern green" politic idea, and as it is at current date not supported of any facts that lead in metallic form is hazardus in any way(that is if not given some speed

).
And barnes is only another company that tryes to ride the "enviroment train" as many are nowdays.

Anyone with a pellet gun should protest against any form of treath against lead ammunition, if they bann the lead in ammo, they take away the early shooting experience from many cids. Thats probably what they want, as fever shooters are easyer to control and a total gun bann wouldnt affect as many humans.
