Many years ago, I brought home a bucket full of lead bullet remnants,
from a gun range. The price then was next to nothing, actually $3. I
would suggest to call local gun ranges and tell them that you are
looking for lead. You would need to smelt it, of course, and dispose
of coppery stuff in a safe and legal way. (I just had to say it!)

actually..wheel weights from the local tire places are cheaper. And make
better bullets, fishing weights and sinkers

"Lenin called them "useful idiots," those people living in
liberal democracies who by giving moral and material support
to a totalitarian ideology in effect were braiding the rope that
would hang them. Why people who enjoyed freedom and prosperity worked
passionately to destroy both is a fascinating question, one still with us
today. Now the useful idiots can be found in the chorus of appeasement,
reflexive anti-Americanism, and sentimental idealism trying to inhibit
the necessary responses to another freedom-hating ideology, radical Islam"
