Yes, I have heard of zinc and steel weights that are beings caled for by the anti-gun elements of our government
They hide the true agenda under the bogus "environmental" excuse, but the idea is to get lead out of the hands of shooters
We don't yet know when it will happen, but rest assured, if it doesn't happen the next step is to make private ownership of lead a crime. It's "bad for the environment”. Never mind that lead is elemental, and we got it out of the ground in he 1st place. It’s a naturally occurring element, and it’s “part of nature” so it’s OK if it’s in the ground.
If we take it out of the ground and then put it back in the ground when we shoot, at the point it come out of a gun , or could come out of a gun -----THEN IT'S POISONOUS"!!!!
If that premise seems illogical to you, it's only because it is.
They can't seem to grasp that a lead bullet is not like lead acetate or some other oxides and such. Lead Acetate (sugar of lead) is how the Romans poisoned themselves, they used it to sweeten their wine. If it were as bad as we are lead to believe they would have wiped out the Roman aristocracy in a week.
They have a lead smelter at East Helena and they had air monitors around the town to check to see how bad it was. I guess it was not too bad right across the highway the monitors are all gone so far as I can see. People still live there.
Its all just crap to give people something to worry about. If they want to worry they should forget lead and global warming and look into Dioxin which really IS bad and is increasing in the environment all the time.
Easy to get into a rant here...
