I have walked around my home in my indoor shooting range shoes and clothing, even though I know the range I go to was noted as needing a lot more done to reduce ambient lead. Shooters and staff had pretty high lead levels, I recently heard.
Lead works its way from blood, to organs, then to bone. Some can come out in urine, especially if you eat certain foods (cilantro) or supplements.
What lead can cause in the body is never good, so minimize it. There are some lower lead ammo options and Federal and CCI have a primer that is lead free and fires at least as well as the best of the lead forms.
The Soviet Medical Society with a political agenda here mRNA COVID vaccines were safe they told everyone.
Can one get blood work and test for lead levels?
This headline needs a qualifier. The vast majority of American gun owners hardly ever use their gun nor go to a shooting range. Talk about painting with a broad brush here. Would police or any other government agent that uses a gun on a daily basis also be the target of this research?
Some Dept. of “Children’s Services” *MUST* remove ALL children from the homes of ALL law enforcement agents, IMMEDIATELY!
Oh, puh-LEEEZE!
They have been after lead for the last 50 years. Always trying to find a way to ban lead in anything but their actual target is bullets by any means.
I work in an industry where I’m always exposed to lead. I also target shoot as often as I can though the last few years have been less than I would have liked.
I have my Doc every couple of years run a blood test emphasizing lead exposure (heavy metals test). So far I’m lead free but YMMV.
But it’s for the children!
But not all.
No aborts, kids trans procedures, kid border crossers left to die in the desert, etc.
I do believe you need a big big dose of read between the lines… This is not about lead

If this was true, Hickok45 would have died a long time ago.

I rekon that every male in my extended family should be dead from lead poisonong by now, and their gonads shrivelled up into dehydrated raisins. They all are healthy as of this writing.
RUN FOR YOUR LIVES PEOPLE........burn your clothes every time you shoot.
All you have to do is shoot outside, wear shooting gloves which you can wash every once in a while.
Very few indoor ranges have proper ventilation , air circulation and filtration. These are easy to spot though.
I don’t have an indoor shooting range. I’ve never shot my gun inside my house. And most of my shooting is done with jacketed bullets.
I’d guess that, at a minimum, 95% of gun owners and shooters do not have an indoor shooting range at home.
“The researchers used a widely-accepted proxy measure to estimate state levels of household gun ownership. This metric combines data on firearm suicides, hunting licenses, subscriptions to Guns and Ammo magazine and background checks.
They compared the data from the proxy measure with reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of blood lead concentration surveillance data for children under 6.”

Elevated lead levels are found in many criminal adults who make bad decisions.
Correlation is not causation.
