    Not worrying about it for yourself is fine, but why expose kids, pregnant women and others' to lead if you can avoid it? Im re thinking this whole lead thing.

    I'm 100% with you. It may not kill anyone, but the insidious effects, especially on still developing kids, are not positive. To knowingly add an avoidable disadvantage to a kid's already challenging development is really messed up.

    I agree too. Second hand smoke and smoking in general was not really considered an issue and even encouraged but.................................fast forward 60 years and................................

    If there is something small you can do then why not.

    Bullets are the cheapest part of the operation when you consider whats spent on rifles, glass, must haves, fuel, accomodation etc etc etc.

    There is naturally occurring (organic) lead in soil, so don't feed them any of those horrible vegetable things that grow in it!
