You use wikipedia as a source??Try Mother Earth News and Al Gore,too.
I use facts as a source. Science that you disagree with is still science.

How does this have anything to do with xenophobia? It struck me as paranoid to equate lead bullet bans with assaults on hunting, and I said so. It still does. The harmful effects of lead are well documented, as is the fact that a lead bullet striking a hard object like a rock can and does release lead into the air. This is why indoor firing ranges have to be careful about being well ventilated, so as not to kill their customers.

Your assumptions about what I do and don't think are absurd. The fact is that there ARE substitute materials which are suitable for use in any sort of gun, and while they're expensive it's primarily because they're such a niche product. A few more companies see the incentive to get into lead-free ammo, and the prices will drop like a rock.
