In an action alert, The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) announced that it supports the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act for FY15 and strongly encourages a Yes vote.
The release states, Though no bill is perfect, the NSSF supports this legislation because it protects the rights of hunters and sportsmen, not Washington bureaucrats, to choose the ammunition they want for hunting and target shooting, by preventing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from banning traditional ammunition made with lead components (95% of all ammunition made and sold).
NSSF encourages you to contact your member of Congress at 202-224-3121 and ask them to vote YES on the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act (H.R. 83), said NSSF.
Shooters, hunters and anglers have faced pressure from groups who seek to eliminate the use of lead in ammunition and fishing tackle on the grounds that it poses a threat to certain types of wildlife. If this came to pass it would significantly drive up the cost of shooting, hunting and fishing products.
