The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) issued a release recently encouraging all hunters, shooters and gun owners to contact their United States Senators and Representatives.
Urge them to become an original co-sponsor of the Hunting, Fishing and Recreational Shooting Sports Protection Act, legislation that will clarify that Congress has not given the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) authority to regulate ammunition and its components under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).
Currently, anti-hunting groups are trying to force the EPA to ban all traditional ammunition under TSCA.
The legislation would also prevent the EPA from banning traditional fishing tackle.
This legislation is set to be introduced in both the Senate and House shortly by Senators Jon Tester (D-Montana) and John Thune (R-SD) and Representatives Jeff Miller (R-Fla.-1st) and Mike Ross (D-Ark.-4th), all of whom are the co-chairs of the Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus.
