10. Careful what you ask for

This sounds like a case of be careful what you ask for to me. It's just a thought but lead deforms on impact reducing the chances of over penetration. If lead is banned from bullets then they will have to use a harder lighter metal. This will cause bullets to travel at a higher velocity and have greater penetration. Police officer's bullet resistant vests will be almost useless. Also when there is a shooting, the bullet will have the potential of going through multiple people, walls, doors, etc. Just makes me think you should be careful what you ask for because you might get it.
