Outdoor gun ranges under fire for safety.

My 1978 Toyota truck, which BTW I bought in the fall of 1977 and still driving, had something hit the windshield one time when I was driving out in the country. There were no other vehicles in sight. The hit was right in front of me on the driver's side. It made a loud noise upon impact and the damage looked like maybe a bullet had hit it. Maybe it was and maybe it wasn't a bullet. It could have been a small piece of rock coming in from outer space. We are constantly being bombarded by space debris.
If there were no bullet or bullet fragments found, I would not be so quick to blame a gun range for this incident. It appears that these people are not happy that a shooting range is so close to them. This is their opportunity to go after them.
Later on down in the article, there is concern about lead causing damage to underground water . Someone tell me, where does lead come from? If it's from the earth, shouldn't we try extracting it all out so that it does not pollute underground water? :question: [Tongue in cheek statement.]
