“Bismuth be my lucky day.”
And there’s uranium.
Isn’t lead found in the ground naturally?
https://www.umass.edu/agriculture-food-environment/soil-plant-nutrient-testing-laboratory/fact-sheets/soil-lead-fact-sheetLead is naturally present in all soils. It generally occurs in the range of 15 to 40 parts lead per million parts of soil (ppm), or 15 to 40 milligrams lead per kilogram of soil (mg/kg).
Flame units only. I want rifles slung
The whole thread is rather interesting.
I think the reviews would be glowing.
Depleted uranium it is then!
Lead ammunition will still be allowed for those hunting Legacy British Subjects, and will be supplied by Mosques throughout the UK.
Well Played, Panic!
Give God’s beautiful wildlife creatures a chance for a change. Just outlaw hunting and leave the ammo alone in case it’s needed to maintain freedom from Government tyranny.
France isn’t near that bad.
They’ve got nothing to shoot ammunition with anyhow.
That explains everything.
Make her security detail load with only plastic BBs.
You are still permitted to use a Narwal tusk from the pub wall to defend yourself.
Rest in Preace Drummer Rigby !

However, in an emergency you can evidently still use a Narwhal tusk.

“...announced by the environment minister Emma Hardy,..”
Oh jeez, wouldn’t you know..,a dumb split-tail who never so much as held a squirt gun and knows F’all about science much less wildlife and firearms who dedicated herself to making life difficult for others. Thank God my ancestors tore ass away from that island centuries ago. Whew!
Yep they are probably all sitting around lamenting how it’s gonna negatively affect their criminal plans, complaining that they just can’t catch a break
