re: #142 HappyWarrior

Do you guys think there’s anything to the theory that the lead leads to psychological issue and a compulsive to want more and more? I don’t know. Maybe it’s my upbringing but I’d be off put by someone who wanted to have that many guns.

I’ve thought about that. Someone I know is convinced that the lead in .22 ammunition has affected his health, and he really has been diagnosed with heavy metal poisoning. It’s the hot dust from the muzzle and around the action that is likely to be dangerous rather than handling the solid bullets themselves. There has been surprisingly little research on this though.
