From the article:

“This is not an anti-gun paper,” Filippelli said. “It’s a pro lead-protection paper.”

Riiigggghhhhttt....

So I guess the solution is to ban lead ammunition?

If it saves one child's life, isn't it worth it?

Yada, yada, yada...

“Study: Gun range lead exposure poses ‘significant’ health risk”

Especially if one is on the opposite end of the trigger pull.

I don’t go to my local indoor gun range in the winter. They have big air blowers blowing outside air in the shooters area which forces the air to exit the other end. Too damned cold in the winter.

If Hillary were President (*shudder*), this "study" would of been quickly backed-up with an EO banning lead under the guise of 'Healthcare'.

The anti-gunners want us all dead anyway. Can’t they just leave us alone to die happily from lead poisoning?

the current maximum safe level of 5 μg/dL

Maybe the 5 μg/dL is ridiculously low, as is the need for a hazmat team to renovate a kitchen in an old house with lead paint.

Ludicrous.

....That’s how they’re going to do it. Ban lead. ...

Then Gunpowder, Primers, and all casings.

Remember, Chris Rock wants a $5,000 tax on all rounds. If every round is suddenly worth $5,000, there’s going to be lots of instant millionaires from ammo already owned.

Oh, it’s a problem until the government gets in trouble for it.

Then, it’s no big deal.

They keep lowering the threshold until there is a problem.

You want a visit from a Haz Mat Team? Break one of those freaking poison-filled light bulbs the EnviroWeenies have crammed down our throats!

They are.

Heavy metal poisoning is cumulative. So is hearing loss. Take reasonable precautions against both when shooting.

I work around lots of lead shielding and have to deal with it on a regular basis. I also frequent my local gun range at least once a month. A few years ago I asked the Doc to do a heavy metals blood panel. Results: no lead exposure above the norm.

Most ranges I’ve been on have filtered ventilation systems

Notice, they didn’t actually do a study. They did a book report on other peoples studies. They didn’t check the methodology or the data gathered by the authors of the studies. They just googled up some articles then put their spin on it.
