do you eat rooves?
I see, but why are you comparing your "shot count" to the 4000 deer that, as you say, others have shot over fifteen years. Their own shot count would obviously have been far, far more than the number of deer that they have shot, just like you have admitted yourself. Perhaps it would have been more accurate for you to have compared the number of deer you have shot, as you would obviously have no idea of what their shot count would be. It could be more than yours.

Do we eat foxes / crows etc

no but after reading on here how many foxes are dumped in bushes or ditchs, the lead will end up in animals.
comparing lead rooves or water pipes too bullets is clutching at straws. the two things are not the same in risk factor

Do you eat targets?

no dont eat targets, didnt realise targets needed the fragmenting quality of lead to put holes in them.

It will affect all lead projectiles.
It's not just about fragmentation

so why do you need to shoot targets with lead then?

You've got the wrong end of the stick.
It's not a case of need. All lead containing projectiles or shot will be banned. That includes lead cored fmj target bullets and airgun pellets and .22 rimfire.
Because COPPER IS TOO BLOODY EXPENSIVE
EDIT - took out the 'hurty words' to save offending someone...

i understand what the ban will entail. i dont agree it will be the end of shooting. plenty of chemical i used are banned now adapt and over come

Copper is toxic.
Idiots, we are dealing with idiots here.
Sucking up won't change the real agenda here.
When they ban vehicle catalytic converters and pesticides sprayed everywhere then I might be swayed in believing them that their concerns are genuine.
Me and my muzzleloaders will slog on, I will find lead shot, make my own, anything, I will do anything to keep them firing because this is nothing but death by a thousand cuts.
Not everyone wants to shoot something akin to an option in call of duty. Some of us want to use firearms from a simpler time, a less global time, a more local time, a less centralised world!

Rain water running off the lead on the roof (and that’s most roofs) and getting into the the rain drains and into the ground doesn’t matter it seems?

No, but I don't dig bullets out of the ground and eat them either. The question is both deliberately and accidentally absurd. Lead on rooves is continuously exposed to the environment and leaches toxic lead compounds into the environment continuously on a far larger scale than ammunition ever could, as well as exposing birds and other wildlife to it.

No, it doesn’t.
Neither does water running through lead pipes into your home or the minute quantity of lead in primers or the lead ammunition in your armed forces warehouses or the big lumps of lead in your sea fishing tackle box.
The only lead being banned is the lead used as civilian firearms projectiles.
