What's even more troubling Johnny is what is going to happen to this entire industry. All they are going to do is drive more of this BS underground than it already is. It's not going to go away it's just going more black/guerilla market than it is now. Will be interesting to see where this goes. There are no economical alternatives to this right now.

approximately one-third of the lead sinkers produced in the country"

my question is, who in the right mind would pour lead in the basement or an enclosed garage without any ventilation?..I'm pretty sure all the people I know who make lead shot, or pour jigs, and sinkers, that ventilation is the number one rule along with the precautionary safety equipment.
