I own some land, a little over 100 acrs that has two streams. Part of the land is down stream from a local R/G club that has been around for more than 50 years. I shoot there from time to time ..... The stream that passes through the club has no living creatures ..... and when I had the water tested, with the idea of putting a well near by, I was told that it contained 500X the lead level of safe drinking water. The other stream supports Brownies and Brookies in good health and size. I knew the club was there when I bought the place so I have no argument with what is/was shot there ..... I shoot there myself ...... BUT, to say the lead issue is just a tree hugger lie or an anti gun plot is very short sighted. Anyone who doubts lead is toxic and would like to drink a few gallons of that stream ..... just send me a jug and I'll fill it for you.
