Between the ages of 8 and 12, when I was selling newspapers on the streets, I would stand around the local auto dealer work areas, right next to where the guys were welding, or painting with high-pressure paint sprayers, or banging things. If lead and chemicals were so bad for kids, how then could I have majored in mathematics and computers at college later on?

This has absolutely nothing to do with "safety" of the "children" and everything to do with creeping socialism. We can all predict that, soon, some government bureaucrat will introduce a regulation forbidding handling of ammunition by children under a certain age.
