Nice catch and thanks for posting it so people who dont understand have a chance to digest whats going on. Subtleties like this go un noticed because its not directly effecting the common mass, but in this example the commodity metal lead is used everywhere not only ammo, but Nuclear power, health care, automotive, aviation, manufacturing, education and military. Shame we are powerless to stop it. The whole world is.. Anthony…. |

Since solder is lead based, In time it will effect everything and every one. Car batteries is another since most are now made off shore will be another item that may go up in large chunks. Even fishing sinkers and wheel weights are no longer made from lead. Tungsten for the sinkers. But the biggest thing that could happen is that China cuts off the flow of lead in the future. Canada at this point still is refining ore and is a trading partner. I'm sure they have been working on replacement materials, plastic's, ceramics for bullets. But the elected government in DC seems to been the biggest provider of unemployment now! :palm: |
