          Me, but no one will listen. I did manage to score some plutonium from The Libyans, though, so I’m good for now.

      To be fair, if your aims good enough you can remove all their IQ points with just a few grams of lead

        “each increase of 10 µg per deciliter in the lifetime average blood lead concentration was associated with a 4.6-point decrease in IQ” https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4046839/

        “cities/towns with more firearms had higher pediatric blood lead levels (highest quartile fully adjusted prevalence ratio ((aPR) = 1.18; 95% CI, 1.09, 1.30) with a significant increase in pediatric blood lead per increase in firearms” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S001393512300511X
