How so? I find that to be a reasonable argument, outside of "invasive species" issues.

How can a lump of lead, a naturally occurring metal, be illegal? All I'm doing is moving it from one place to another.

It can be, especially in bullet form, especially when you move those little lumps of lead very fast in various directions.
