Ban on handgun bullets eyed by safety commission
The Consumer Product Safety Commission moves toward banning handgun bullets as a hazardous substance under a court order. The action, aimed only at bullets, could effectively outlaw handguns by removing the small lead projectiles, while casings and powder are not affected. The proposal stems from the Chicago based Committee for Handgun Control, backed by NRA concerns, and follows a 1974 court ruling requiring the agency to consider the measure.
