Exactly!

I don't remember what government group/department did the environmental impact study, but it was on "The effects of lead in gun range burms".

One of the Anti's latest cries has been that the lead "IS contaminating the soil, and all of the local groundwater!"

"THEREFORE, WE MUST BAN ALL LEAD BULLETS & SHOT!"

As it turned out, they found that the lead formed a fairly impermeable Oxide layer almost immediately upon exposure to the air/moisture.....rendering it basically inert, for all intents and purposes.

It made sense, after all, lead is a mined metal, and if it was so easily dissolved in water/soil, it would be all over the place.
