    Simple solution:

    All public sector administrators in California, starting with the Dept of Health and Safety, will be tested for lead contamination. Those administrators testing positive will be flagged, and reassigned to HAZMAT response teams. Darwins process of Natural Selection should take it from there.

    True that!
    I don't paint bullets. I like Black Rifle Coffee. Sacred cows are always fair game. California is to the United States what Syria is to Russia and North Korea is to China/South Korea/Japan--a Hermit Kingdom detached from the real world and led by delusional maniacs, an economic and social basket case sustained by "foreign" aid so as to not lose military bases.

    Free machining brass A36000 (aka 360 brass) contains ~4% brass by weight. Cast brass, like that used in faucets can use lead-free brass Eco-Brass.

    I guess your safe from the lead as long as you don't use the blow gun in California.

    I'm not worried.
    I'm no where near CA, and even if it falls into the ocean, I'm still not even close.
    I'd hazard to guess that we might have more to worry about from the "back wash" caused by that slide.

    I agree with buck1- my brass contains lead, and is gar-on-teed to be hazardous to your health if you are on the wrong end of the despenser!

Left overs go into the junk they sell us (to increase our trade deficit).

    I doubt they use brass in their military cartridges over there. I'd bet on steel cases with berdan primers, in typical commie fashion.

    Okay, maybe it is for jackets on their bullets, or wiring inside their tanks, etc.
    Wherever it is going, it is going to come back to haunt us VERY soon.

    Do not confuse them with the fact that lead is a natural element which is found with almost all metal ores and in the soil all over the world. It's natural so how can it hurt us, using their logic for other things. It is all about control over us surfs who are too stupid to know better. Why just the other day I breathed in a 1/2 pound chunk which was floating in the air. I think I will spend the next 5 min. wrapping my head in duct tape to keep it from exploding.

    Your head WILL explode if you wrap it in duct tape.
    And if not after wrapped, immediately upon removal of the tape!
