I sure hope you are right.

They are coming after the average citizen's ability to own and drive a car.

Lead-free bullets to be tested at Aberdeen Proving Ground

ABERDEEN, Md - The Army will be demonstrating new "green" ammunition at the Aberdeen Proving Ground.

The military began providing the lead-free round last June to U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan. It replaces ammunition used since the early 1980s.

A live-fire demonstration will be held Wednesday morning at the post. Soldiers will fire the new and old rounds, as well as a third type, to compare the performance of all three on identical targets.

The targets will include a parked vehicle, steel plates and building materials. The Army says the new ammunition is the first developed as part of a "greening"' effort for small-caliber ammunition.
