> Why not just ban the stuff in bullets? That would be incredibly regressive since the alternatives are all very expensive. It's also unnecessary because, as mentioned before, safe handling is far easier to achieve than a politically unpopular ban. You also don't really need to "enforce" safe handling beyond air scrubbing systems at indoor ranges. There are also cases, such as blackpowder shooting and antique firearms, where non-lead projectiles may not be feasible. If I have an oddball caliber antique weapon I can still use it by casting my own lead bullets even if nobody makes commercial ammunition.
