I never heard that explaination, but I was once at an IDPA match with a guy that did ground water stuff. I mentioned the creek nearby and the berms we were shooting into. He said it was not a problem. The lead stays were it is. This was North Wilkesboro, for those that know the range.Why?
When Kidd’s Place was setting up to be a skeet/trap/clay birds a couple doors down from me I researched the dangers of lead. We had wells and I was concerned about the lead leaching into the water table. Everything I found indicated it was a non issue because the lead oxidizes and self seals like aluminum. The lead to fear is industrial lead like paint and that blue fluid you get when cleaning your 22 can.
It's just for hunting
"Just" for hunting, just like all of their other anti-gun legislation is "just" for public safety, "just" for common sense, etc. I get that this is (at least publicly) geared toward hunters, but I don't think that's the ultimate - or at least the only - goal here.
Who knows though. Perhaps it's a self-correcting problem. Fewer hunters means more wild animals, which means more car accidents, which ultimately means fewer Californians...

Does anyone make any lead-free 22 Long Rifle ammo?
Yeah, if you want to make an area uninhabitable... For ever.How about depleted Uranium? I hear they make good bullets.

You should take the time to watch this video...Nope. That’s the “depleted” part. More of the 238, less of the 235. Very low radioactivity. It is a toxic metal but so are lots of metals. It hardly renders anything uninhabitable. There are plenty of inhabitants still in places that our tanks and A-10s have generously spread DU around.
That said, I wouldn’t keep a chunk of it in my pocket for sure.
