I don't care about shooting people that are too stupid to remain out of
the ranges, but if I can't shoot ducks with lead shot, why should the
CG
get to dump tons of the stuff?

The small arms ammunition is copper jacketed lead. The l ship's larger
guns
contain almost no lead at all. You think a 5 inch projectile is lead? The
Phalanx spews DU . There's no lead in all the AP stuff either.

Oh that's great then, being as how copper and the various compounds it
will form in the chemical soup of the Great Lakes is totally nontoxic to
aquatic flora and fauna right?

I would suggest you review the naturally occuring minerals that dissolve in
to the lake. You will see that they are far, far greater than any target
practice by the Coast Guard. Furthermore, Canada should pay for those
minerals deposited by the Coast Guard. Lead, cadmium, bismuth, uranium are
all valuable metals.
