    Dirt floats?
    We need somebody/something to keep the government (cops and bureaucrats too) HONEST (by non government oversight).

    Every "freedom" (latitude) given to government is a loophole in the rule of law. Every loophole in the rule of law is another hole in our freedom. When they even obey the law that is. Too often government seems to feel itself above the law.

    We forgot to take out the trash in 2012, but 2016 was a charm! YESSS!

    No dirt. What I mean by dirty lead is that it has been pulled out from behind the backstop at a local indoor shooting range and is a mixture of lead and copper jackets with a bit of brass and a few plastic wads, presumably from someone shooting .410 Judges.

    I would estimate it at about 95% soft lead ready for the smelter.

    The 2nd amendment was never intended to allow private citizens to 'keep and bear arms.' If it had, there would have been wording such as 'the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. -Ken Konecki, July 27, 1992

    If you want to see it, the rivers here
