"Sometimes I have to wonder about a few organizations that purport to represent those of us who hunt. Do they advance in public discourse an enlightened rationale for the continuation of sport hunting, one that a reasonable hunter or non-hunter might support? Or do they cavalierly dismiss us as dunderheads, incapable of rational thought or displaying concern for others ..."
"The issue comes to mind because of recent findings involving minute, often microscopically small particles of toxic bullet lead in the venison we eat that comes from the deer we shoot — and the initial, knee-jerk reaction to these findings by the National Rifle Association, Safari Club International and the National Shooting Sports Foundation." ... |

The symptoms of lead poisoning are easy to spot: confusion, muscle twitches, low energy.
Had it due to bad ventilation at an indoor range I went to at least once a week.
I took a break, they fixed the fans, I got better.
So don't eat meat from hunted animals EVERY DAY: no problem.
This is another "I'm a gun owner and hunter, BUT..." article. Nothing works as well for bullets as plain old cheap, plentiful, easily-molded lead. |

As far as the North Dakota Department of Health is concerned, starvation is far more desirable than injesting extremely small amounts of lead.
Now the hungry homeless are free of lead and can go back on the street to beg for money to buy meth and other state approved poisons. |

This "lead poisoning" has to be as great a farce as "global warming". If all this scare is accurate, I should be a total wreck, remembering when, as a kid, I used to spit LEAD bb's out of the rabbits and squirrels we used to feast upon. Regardless of what the fear-mongers want us to believe, lead residue simply doesn't stay in the body long enough to be noticed. Also, it seems that the
lead paint and car gas did no damage, either. |

TO REMEMBER |
| America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She well knows that by one enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standards of freedom. — JOHN QUINCY ADAMS (1821) |
