I am all for banning lead sinkers, as a Winnie fisherman, when the "get the lead out" was passed for Winnie anything that will save the lives of loons, which do ingest lead sinkers, should be passed.
I believe the law apply's to sliding sinkers or pinch on lead sinker and not the larger lead bass jigs or lead headed spinnerbaits, which obviously loons could not ingest.
This is a good thing and once you have made the change to steel or other materials you just adapt to them.
