mailmanDear Lansing Gun Club Members,

Why would you choose to willfully harm our community's health by expanding your gun ranges to both sides of Salmon Creek?

You have chosen to continue to use lead shot which leaves a powerful neurotoxin in our environment.

You have chosen not to change to an alternative metal because it is an inconvenience to you.

You have chosen to disregard the EPA directive to stop using lead shot by Mar. 31, 2018.

You have chosen not to install a shot curtain which would have contained the toxic metal, making it easier to remove.

You have chosen to deny your responsibility to clean up your act because you are 'grandfathered in'.

You may think that you have won because you have gotten your permit that you claimed to have not needed. But you have not won. You have not won because we have all lost. You are leaving a toxic mess for your children and grandchildren, not to mention your fellow taxpayers. Everyone will have to deal with the health consequences and the damage done to the delicate balance of our environment.

You could have been part of the solution to protect our wildlife and ourselves. You could have done the right thing.
