Occasionally, over many years, I have seen leftists try to shut down shooting ranges with false claims they are an “environmental hazard.” Lead bullets simply sit in the ground, inactive. Lead does not “leach into the water table.” That is one of the myths spread by the anti-2A crown. Luckily we now have an ally, with the science behind them to back this up: https://www.telecomcablefacts.com I did not realize until today that old telecom cables were sheathed in lead. Turns out class-action lawyers, driven by enviro-whackos, are trying to make the false claim that lead sheathed cables contaminate ground water. I added the link above to try to help any shooting range owner facing similar false claims. |

Most heavy metals require active injestion, to do themleaxking they they are Reffering to you would need an acid to disolve it And make It accessible . Like maybe vinegar stored in a lead soldered can of pickles would be “perfect storm” of lead exposure. But elemental lead isn’t as absorbable as some would believe. Now atomized lead dust is more easily exposed to acids (like surface area is greater so dissolves easier). |

Between the various gun club/ranges I have been a member or shot at in Illinois (yuck) St. Louis (or west of) and Southern Mo, I have seen each of them shut down and have a company come in and do "Lead Reclamation" to help reduce ground/water polutions. Never heard mention of Air or Greenhouse gasses. |
