If they can come up with an alternative to using lead, why is this so ridiculous???

Well, if we replace lead by depleted uranium (nice and heavy) from spent nuclear reactor cores, we would solve the "lead problem", as well as "what to do with nuclear waste". That's called a "win-win" situation!

My crystal ball which is linked to the law of unintended consequences indicates a big jump in waste tires entering the environment.

Just like lead shot for “water foul” hunting. Yet, last I checked, lead doesn't leach like other heavy metals.

So, now you'll be paying about $5 for a wheel weight made of Tungsten or Bismuth instead of $.05

18 pounds of wheel weights and 2 pounds of 50-50 solder makes a Lyman #2 alloy for hard lead cast bullets.

Somebody is looking for ways to prevent the home manufacture of ammunition. Looks like they found it.
