Good deal! Question though, what does this do to the ban on lead waterfowl loads? Could they be used again?

Social Studies 101- It takes both houses of Congress and a presidential signature (or sit on his desk for 10 days without a signature if Congress is in session) to pass a law or a 2/3's vote by both houses to override a veto.
The US Congress is in session all year unlike the Texas legislature that is in session only 5 months every other year so they are always passing bills.
When a different party controls each house (like now with the GOP for the House and the Dems for the Senate) then both will likely pass bills that the other house will not even take up for debate, much less try to pass. I think to date, since the Republicans took over the House in 2010, they have sent 35 bills to the Senate that Harry Reid (Democrat head of the Senate) will not even allow to be debated.
So while this bill that passed the House seems great, that is as far as it will go just as the other bills that have passed the House. Even assuming that the Senate could get enough support to pass it, they would need the president to go along with it and that just isn't happening. In the fantastical assumption that it passed both houses, it would never get a 2/3's vote to override a veto.
The House could just as well pass a bill to end all income taxes and while it might pass, that is as far as it would get.
End of lesson.
