In reply to the discussion: Don't forget to talk about the harm of shooting to health and the environment [View all]CreekDog
(46,192 posts)41. then you support restrictions on lead into the environment from firearms

any safe level is going to mean substantial restrictions on the types of shot or shooting allowed.
