non-toxic shot and parkers

[Double Lab]

Gentlemen,
Lead in the environment such as pellets shot from a gun are INERT. They cause no problems, do no damage and "poison" nothing. I have posted here before that my gun club is located on the city of Baltimore's watershed, water supply impoundment. We deposit tons of lead every year and have it tested every time we mine the lead for reclamation. After 55 some odd years of shooting on these grounds, there has been no damage to the environment, not one indicator of lead leaching into the watertable. Baltimore is known for having some of the best water quality in the country. They have not been successful in banning firearms thanks to the 2nd amendment so they go about it by slowly banning the ammo that we use. Question authority my friends- they know not what they do.

i think I see the problem- you reffer to science and reason,

the new generation of "environmentalists" use lies and panicked emotion

hence your last two statements (unfortunately - I do think at least their leaders know exactly what they are doing - as they say "something wicked this way comes"

I have this complete study somewhere and it may easily be found. A few years back while trying to establish a public trap/skeet range, the "hunters" opposed to it came out and cited the dangers from all the lead that would be deposited at the site, even though they had been presented the report. I finally gave up.

The lead bullets from Civil War battlefields, millions still in the ground, all exhibit the white coating that seals the soluable lead. So do all the lead pellets ever shot, over time.
