EPA Denies Ammo Ban Petition
NRA-ILA GRASSROOTS ALERT Vol. 17, No. 34 08/27/10

EPA Denies Ammo Ban Petition

Responding to a grassroots outcry from gun owners, the Environmental Protection Agency today announced that it has denied a petition by the Center for Biological Diversity and other radical groups that had sought to ban the use of lead in ammunition.

Agreeing with the position of the NRA and the firearms industry, the agency explained in a news release that it "does not have the legal authority to regulate this type of product under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)." Further crushing the hopes of anti-gun and anti-hunting activists, the release added: "nor is the agency seeking such authority."

Federal Legislative Roundup: Both houses of Congress have adjourned for their "Summer District Work Period," and there are two issues pending in Congress that require your immediate action to lobby your Senators and Congressman while back in their homestate for the next month.

Be sure to contact your U.S. Senators at (202) 224-3121 and your U.S. Representative at (202) 225-3121, and urge them to cosponsor and support these measures, if they are not already doing so. Additional contact information can be found using the "Write Your Representatives" feature at www.NRAILA.org. Also, if you are able to attend town hall meetings and/or arrange a personal visit with your lawmakers, these issues should be raised.
