Lead is the favorite subject of anyone who is attempting to subvert the 2nd Amendment to our Constitution. As I've mentioned before here, I worked in the environmental remediation industry for most of my 40-year career. We dealt with almost all of the industrial chemicals you could think of, from industrial solvents, chrome plating, & big fuel spills to mine wastes and former millitary sites (which included Rad, UXOs & high-nitrate problems). I've always referred to these sites (Superfund and otherwise) as "unfortunate real-estate". Any place with an active industrial or millitary past is likely to have some of these issues, and that includes just about anyplace that has ever been "civilized" and/or subjected to human habitation for any sustained period of time.
In the pantheon of toxic, reactive and corrosive chemicals, lead is simply a "lightweight" in comparison and yet it was always the most politically charged material we had to deal with. In the last year of my career I worked at the USEPA headquarters here in Denver and I can promise you this, if things had been allowed to continue under Democratic leadership, lead would have been the primary weapon used to further impair all of your 2nd Amendment rights.
That process was well-underway before the last election changed everything.
