    Cleaning sure, and as I stated elsewhere most rounds are jacketed with copper and a lead core, the only lead you’re being exposed to is from the primer, which is around 40% lead derivatives and a massive amount of that is blasted out the muzzle, you’re not breathing in much more if much more than natural back ground amounts of lead that’s already in the soil around us.

    Cleaning the firearm? Sure, but you shouldn’t be cleaning it and then grabbing a sandwich without cleaning your hands anyways.

        It’s not just that but if you smell the gun powder you’re also being exposed to lead and other particulates. It’s not about a huge amount of lead in a short amount of time but a long time of exposure to it. I’m not sure how it’s hard to understand that but here we are.

          I think the guy is just a fucking idiot who likes to argue, so he’s going to argue in circles until he finds someone else to irritate.

        I’m not arguing about it lol my entire point has been calling out this shit study, that’s just feeding people who are antigun a “gun owners are stupid because of lead”…

        Hell most of my comments have been about washing your hands after the range. It’s just good hygiene anyways.
