So I guess when the bullet destroys itself in the trap the led is not as hazardous when it is exposed?

What about the vaporized lead compounds from primers?
You are both correct!
Need to ban bullets that contain any lead at all, and only allow metals costing several times more which are far less abundant. Like when Bismuth (hevishot) primarily produced as a by product of lead production, went to over $14 a pound in 2007 with increased demand. I wonder how high it would skyrocket if it tried (unsuccessfully because there isn't enough) to cover the entire ammo market.
Solid copper and other possible metals are much more expensive than lead, and many metals are banned from use by federal and state laws in handguns.
It would stop of a lot of those suspicious people that like to cast their own bullets, lets see them try to melt most other metals on a burner.
We could easily push ammo prices many times higher!
Need to ban all reliable primers containing any potential compound not safe to breathe, eat, and bathe in, limiting people to less reliable and shorter shelf life alternatives!
Throw out those decade old proven formulas, people need to depend on what someone thought up last year! Shelf life? You can buy ammo when you need it, who needs it to last anyways? Someone suspicious I tell you!
Can we start the petition? Have an effective anti politician's phone number? Campaign donations are a good way to get the ball rolling!
