NRA Launches Pro-Lead Website

Posted by timothy on from the which-conceit-do-you-prefer? dept.

ideonexus writes "The National Rifle Association has launched a website defending the use of lead ammunition against scientists and environmental organizations who argue that lead bullets are poisoning the environment and tainting game meat with a known neurotoxin. The rise and fall of lead levels from gasoline and lead-based paint are strongly correlated to the rise and fall of crime rates in communities around the world."

    And what are the blood lead levels in your employees?

    Oh wait, let me guess: you''ve never offered to test it, as that would be far too close to Socialism (not to mention your liability).

    Weird how the person above you gets a +5 insightful for paranoid derp. People here used to be a lot smarter than the reactionaries that post these days.

    for what?

    I hate [citation needed] bs. Google that shit yourself. If you want to be informed, take action to become informed. If you don't, no amount of effort I put into informing you will make a difference. And the ignorant outnumber me by several billion, I can not and will not do it any more.

    Last I heard we sold over 6 billion bullets a year in the US, and that was before the freak out over having a "black man" in the whitehouse. It could easily be 10 billion by now.
