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.

In addition to the other replies. Wax bullets can be used in revolvers or any manually cycled firearms but not self loading because they use a lower volume of propellant.
