Ammo and the firefighters
Saw this on an other site and thought it was interesting. Makes me feel better about my reloading room and the ammo I have loaded.

They didn't "waste" anything. Much like the trees that are grown specifically to be harvested for the production of paper, nothing was wasted. It was money spent and intended for a very specific purpose.
Not all too different than the wasting or using of lab rats and mice for testing. Emotional attachments need not apply!
