Calling "Bullshit" on President Obama's Supposed Shutdown of the Doe Run Lead Smelter

You have probably seen all sorts of blog posts stating, in variation, that "Obama changed the air pollution rules and is causing the shutdown of the last lead smelter in the U.S."

Well, it's bullshit. Here's what the NRA-ILA, which is no friend of this president, said about it:
Doe Run made significant efforts to reduce lead emissions from the smelter, but in 2008 the federal Environmental Protection Agency issued new National Ambient Air Quality Standards for lead that were 10 times tighter than the previous standard. Given the new lead air quality standard, Doe Run made the decision to close the Herculaneum smelter.
I have bolded the critical piece of information.

Now, Class, who can tell me who was the President of the United States in 2008?

You, Johnny Wingnut, care to answer the question?

I read about the change to non-lead ammo and shudder. I have already seen plastic tipped hunting rounds but what about Black powder shooters? Are they going to make .50 cal Hawken rounds out of plastic now? And, what about my Beeman Webly airgun?
