Lead Poisoning

Cartoon by Nick Kim

As indicated above, pure lead is not toxic. Certain lead compounds are (eg the lead styphnate used in most primers). Pure lead and lead alloys normally used in bullet-making are hazardous only when accelerated to a velocity (eg 850 fps) that enables the lead to penetrate the skin.

Prohibiting lead might be acceptable for those who shoot 10 or 20 shots a year during and shortly before deer or duck or season. But, at the rate that I shoot, I cannot afford to take the lead out. The cost of 10-20 thousand Barnes solid copper bullets far exceeds the shooting budget of this retiree. If those who want us to move away from lead are truly serious, they would personally cough up the difference in price between lead and copper so that we could afford to shoot non-lead projectiles.

That said, I see a strong correlation between Snowflake Syndrome and lead deficiency. I grew up with lead in the plumbing, lead in the paint, lead in shower pans, lead in roofing, lead in glazing on ceramic dinner plates, lead in drinking glasses, lead in toys, lead in gasoline, and even lead in toothpaste tubes! The more we remove our children from contact with lead, the faster the Snowflake Syndrome expands. (For the comically-challenged, that last paragraph was written to make a point, but also with tongue-in-cheek. Get a life!)
