The problem is that you are part of a group. I've been hearing about desires to ban lead in ammunition for decades. The goal then was to make cartridges so expensive that people wouldn't shoot much. That's what your side wants.Greg Camphttp://gregorycamp.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-52084759498609700902012-09-25T11:47:37.969+02:002012-09-25T11:47:37.969+02:00No, you keep getting my real goal wrong.

What's weird is that to your way of thinking my real goal is so bad you can't stand it, yet you keep assigning even worse ideas to me pretending I have even worse and hidden agendas.<br /><br />Isn't what I actually say bad enough for you Greg. Why do you have to keep reading my mind and proclaiming it's even worse?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806175370305006933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-48448213570891118452012-09-25T11:45:21.264+02:002012-09-25T11:45:21.264+02:00So, a little poison is OK, is that it?So, a little poison is OK, is that it?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806175370305006933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-37024073050017444642012-09-25T11:44:39.249+02:002012-09-25T11:44:39.249+02:00Obviously it is a problem since we're talking ...Obviously it is a problem since we're talking about it.

Some European nations were contemplating a ban over mixture with genetically modified rice, but I see nothing about lead contamination.Greg Camphttp://gregorycamp.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-19006194564716487012012-09-21T23:38:54.488+02:002012-09-21T23:38:54.488+02:00Lead from gunfire in the environment makes a diffe...Lead from gunfire in the environment makes a difference. Consider the California condor, which is dying from lead toxicity due to hunting. I remember when I lived in Arkansas how foreign nations were imposing a ban on Arkansas-grown rice (a major crop in Arkansas)because of lead content -- a result of the duck-hunting going on in the rice patties.<br /><br />A blog post on the issue of documented bullet lead poisoning in the environment and the NRA efforts to make it a non-issue: http://newtrajectory.blogspot.com/2012/07/nra-opposes-changing-away-from-lead.htmlBaldr Odinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11818934498607763309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-68550860028398788642012-09-20T15:53:29.280+02:002012-09-20T15:53:29.280+02:00This land has been used since the 60s.

After all, lead does exist in nature. It's no different than if hunters released a few drops of crude oil wherever they shot at something ... because crude oil is in nature.<br /><br />If you concentrate people at a single location and shoot several pounds of lead every day for decades, I can see where that would be a problem.<br /><br />The solution is beautifully simple: steel shot. Steel shot is totally fine for target shooting. Bonus: steel is cheaper than lead and it generates less recoil in a shotgun because it weighs less than lead!

That would be an actual problem. All I am getting is that the state deems lead to be a contaminate, therefore this property is contaminated. Just wondering, is the lead in the ground that hasn’t been mined yet also a problem?TSnoreply@blogger.com
