Obama Official Issues Ammunition Ban for Federal Lands on Last Day in Office
Washington Free Beacon ^ | January 20, 2017 | Stephen Gutowski

Posted on 01/22/2017 7:33:16 AM PST by Zakeet

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Dan Ashe, an Obama appointee, ordered a new ammunition ban for certain federal lands on Thursday–his last full day in office.

The ban, which took effect immediately, eliminates the use of lead-based ammunition on federal lands like national parks and wildlife refuges, as well as any other land administered by the Fish and Wildlife Service. The ban is expected to have a major impact on much of the hunting that takes place on federal lands across the United States as lead-based ammunition is widely legal and used throughout the country.

Ashe said the order was necessary to protect wildlife from exposure to lead.

Most of it, but I don’t why I made my comment. i’m in CA and we’re already pretty much banned from hunting with lead.

Yeah, but I’m sure that doesn’t apply on federal land in Kali. From whence would come their jurisdiction?

The way I read it, it will apply to all lands after the final phase in 2019.

Not to mention all those well regulated militias who might be having their Sunday meetings out there.
Wonder if Obammy’s ban included the 22 MOA* campgrounds scattered all over the US.

Is that part of the EPA’s Waters of the US and the Climate Action Plan that President Trump got rid of?

Not exactly sure of the effective date but all new regulations set to initiate this year are suspended pending further action.

And I have ignored it since the day they passed it.
#6 shot for the birds I hunt (I want a clean kill with one shot, not a cripple that escapes), standard 308 or 30-06 for most everything else.
45 caliber wadcutters for 2 legged critters.
