What? You'll have gpr on you with a single round. You will absolutely have something on you after hours of shooting.
Yea...but it's not going to be visibly all over you like you've been mining coal with your hands. As I pointed out. Sorry that you people are arguing against this, thinking that after a range day we firearm owners look like we've been shoveling coal into a steam locomotive.

I'm quoting you here:
It's fine that what you meant was not having enough to be grimy. Nothing wrong with a little hyperbole. But that isn't what you said, or I wouldn't have bothered to leave the comment.
Secondary to that, your unfortunate choice to try and relegate people into in and out groups with "you people" is not just shitty in general, it's so far off the target in this case as to approach absurdity. Elsewhere in this thread and comment section, it's made very clear I own and practice with firearms. Your assumptions are as bad as your ability to communicate what you actually mean.
So, you know, maybe slow your roll a little, realize that your own word choices led to the wave of objections, and chill the fuck out. Or, keep being argumentative and end up with nobody willing to talk to you at all.
For real my fellow netizen, go back, ~~ ~~ put those around your original comment and add in what you really meant. Chances are high that people correcting you will dry up to nothing.
And here is the comment that I replied to.
I don't know how it's a "yea the comment that agrees with my bias about firearm owners being idiots because of lead poisoning" but the guy saying "what are you shooting that's causing that much gpr buildup" gets dog piled on because it's not fitting peoples bias.
The original comment, is what I called out and it snow balled into a bunch of people who don't shoot firearms, trying to tell me, the guy who has his own range and shoots a lot, is wrong...
I honestly don't give a shit that people disagree with me, but people who are antigun are just as bad as the pro-life people...they will not listen to literally anything but shit that gives them a bias feedback.
