Dold's from one of the most anti-gun districts in the country. That was Mark Kirk's district, as well as John Porter's district. I don't expect much from there.

Interestingly enough, Dingell voted bad on this one.

Thanks for the info on Dold. Is Dingell still on the NRA's board?

"Rep. Raul Grijalva (D–Ariz.) argued that the greatest threats to hunting and fishing do not come from federal land managers, but from development, pollution and destruction of wildlife habitat."

LOL... Yeah... He should know. Most of his constituents are illegal aliens that utterly destroy and pollute the wildlife habitat in the beautiful Sonoran Desert in Southern Arizona. That said his comments have nothing to do with the obomba administrations attempt to use bogus agencies like the BLM and EPA to institute yet another federal bureaucratic power grab. Using ammo poisoning wildlife and hunters allegedly trampling and polluting their hunting grounds as the excuse to attack the 2nd Amendment is beyond hypocritical.

This is an old article but it explains and shows what raul's constituents do to BLM managed property and privately owned ranches along our boarders. You ask me there isn't enough lead being used in this area of the country. Read the article here - The Amnesty Trail

It's gotten even worse since this article came out. Why isn't our government doing what's needed to put an end to these atrocities?
I know. The questions redundant isn't it? >:-(

But many freepers tell me Republicans are just exactly the same as the evil, marxist enemies of America the democrats. Guess that proves you wrong. Go Republicans in the House.

“However, nothing prevents a future bureaucratic maneuver to limit access,” Hastings said.

That's the real problem. The EPA, just one agency among many, needs to be abolished or at least castrated. If you don't do that, they just keep pushing and pushing until they find a Congress that's more amenable to their plans. Then the public is stuck with the agency's power grab forever.

One hell of a way to really piss off a bundle of Americans,
some f-ing beauracrat banning ammo and fishing tackle.
Course these are activities obummer has Never done.
Too busy dating men and hiding his past.

The chemicals in the propellant for all ammunition is the next target for the EPA. Watch.

Because they can’t. Unless the Senate agrees with them (and they won’t), it is just talk.

“Shit, we’d all be brain dead if lead leached out in water under like 300°”

It does, but only in liberal homes. I only know of one case in the literature of lead poisoning from a bullet in the body. It was lodged in a joint and the acidic joint fluid caused the bullet to dissolve. All others just sit there and the same for outdoors.

“...Democrats opposed the bill ...”

Communists never have cared for lead in ammunition, especially in the hands of the unwashed masses...lol

If the House can stop the EPA, why don’t they do it more?

They can't, this is just Blabbidy, blah, blah, for the little people, the Senate will never let it happen. How has spending been increased to unconscionable levels under the leadership of Boehner and McConnel? The GOPe is dominated by enemies of the Republic.

The House could 'zero' their funding. Why don't they do it?

National Endowment of the Arts, A group hated by conservatives, yet they still get funded. Remember that Ronald Reagan ran on abolishing the Department of Education, but phony Republicans stopped him.

We have apparently not yet learned the danger of voting for the man with the (R).

If Romney wins they’ll likely be able...actually forced to do much more. If Lugar loses, the limp wristers will be even more frightened of not doing the right thing. Their hand will be forced because of the looming defense cuts. I’m not yet cynical enough to believe the GOP will defund Marine Brigades and quintuple Tricare rates while continuing to fund the NEA and the Peace Corps/Job Corps, Americorps, etc.
