NRA Launches Pro-Lead Website
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."
They would bring out a dozer every couple of years and scrape off the top foot on the skeet range and the front foot for the berm, process it and pay a big chunk of expenses with the money for the lead.
Until the god damn liberals forced it to close. They really are willing to do anything in their power to effectively take our guns. When the time comes, give them the bullets first.

Please do pump-up summaries by including pseudoscientific commentary. Lead does not cause crime any more than global warming causes piracy.
It's funny, when people complain about electric vehicle batteries and supposed the looming environmental disaster if we mass produce them, the 'the batteries are recycled' argument gets shot down. Now it appears to be a valid argument?
And while I understand not all pro-gun people are rabid GOP deniers of [insert topic they don't like], it's a pretty good correlation.
I agree that recycling described above makes good sense...I do find the hypocrisy of the rabid's ironic but sad.
People in cars cause accidents....accidents in cars cause people
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.
