My great grandfather gave me lead to play with.

A lead sinker from his tackle box. I guess he didn't know it was poisonous, and it got me to thinking that in an earlier century guns fired poisonous bullets. How awful is that!

Yes, lead is so much more toxic than depleted uranium ammunition 😂 I not trying to make fun of you, just pointing out humanity really hasn’t progressed at all.

@Beetlejuice68 Lead is estimated to have killed tens of millions.

@Beetlejuice68 Poisonous missiles go quite a bit further back in history than I gave credit for. Your point about mankind not changing is valid.

@SW-User I guess lead has been around longer, and who knows how much pollution from shot gun pellets are out there.

@Beetlejuice68 Leaded gasoline was the big culprit.

@SW-User I almost forgot about that, and lead based paint.
