ELMWOOD PARK (WLS) - The federal government has fined a west suburban gun range more than $100,000 for health violations after high lead levels were detected during an inspection in January.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration found 27 serious violations — including 13 for lead standards — during the Jan. 21 inspection at Illinois Gun Works LTD. in Elmwood Park, according to a release from the U.S. Department of Labor. The agency also found one "other-than-serious" violation.

The inspection found Illinois Gun Works — which sells guns, operates a shooting range and offers gun safety training — had airborne lead levels up to 12 times the permissible level, the release said.

It is jokingly reffered to as "Hallelujah Joy Juice".
Where the mistaken belief that if you believe strongly enough in something then the believed thing cannot shake your belief that thing can harm you.

Inversely it can also be believed so strongly that that belief makes you superior and thus invincible which degrades to a belief in the right that you have the right to point out others flaws because they obviously do not believe as strongly,otherwise they would not have been deflicted.

The final and lethal stage of inebriation begins with the belief that since one is now immortal(whether here or in the great beyond)then it follows that a believed entity has given them the right to be lord,owner,master,judge,jury and if deemed necessary executioner on the non believer for the mighty transgression of non belief in the system which makes the deluded fell omnipotent.

The mistaken belief that the believer is descended from an omnipotent being while other's ascended from primates but somehow are still perceived as being primates.

Here the believer believes that guns are good and a means to mete out punishment for the wicked non-believer so both being good in a battle against evil then there is no possible way that the lead can possibly harm the believer since they are on the same side.

Hope this clears up the confusion.
