Lead leads to above normal hostility and aggression. Lead paint, lead petrol, lead pipes - all must go. And maybe some kind of protection at shooting ranges?

Adequate ventilation will reduce the lead exposure. There are alternatives to using lead for bullets which would eliminate the exposure.

Depleted uranium works well, and we all know gulf war syndrome was fake news, so it’s probably safe.
