Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke signed a Secretarial Order on Thursday repealing the lead ammunition ban issued the day before Barack Obama left office.
It is interesting to note that Thursday was Zinke’s first day as Interior Secretary and repealing the onerous ban one of his first actions.

Just more winning...nothing to see here. ;)
Wow, excellent!
Undoing some of the damage done by the commie muslim kenyan.
Ha! I never even heard of the ban! MAGA,
...and there was much rejoicing!.....
Good first day. I hope every day is just as good.
That’s because it was one of Obama’s last minute decrees.
Ryan Zinke is awesome. I wondered why he was nominated as Secretary of the Interior. Read his book, American Commander, and you’ll know why. I can see why he was confirmed by so many Senators. There is no need to go through a BS “vetting” process with him. Everything you need to know about him is in his book. Warts and all. He’s a longtime SEAL. He just don’t shive a git. Here’s who I am. Like me or hate me, I don’t care. I hope he runs for President some day.
It’s going to take 8 more years to erase Obama’s attempt to screw this country beyond recognition.
But so far, we’re off to a good start.
They are not cheap
I thought that riding to work on a horse might be inappropriate.
I was wrong. It was perfect.
If no express delegation of power is found to justify a given “edict” then patriots need to support Pres. Trump in removing such edicts from the books imo.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Regarding the Obama era lead ammunition ban, please consider the following.
Hypothetically speaking, since Congress has the Commerce Clause power (1.8.3) to regulate interstate commerce, a lead ammuntion ban reasonably based on 1.8.3 should have been a bill signed into law by Obama — but only if the states had expressly constitutionally delegated to Congress the specific power to regulate such things in the first place.
The problem is that while the states have expressly constitutionally delegated to Congress the specific power regulate military-related arms, such power evidenced by clauses 12, 13 and 16 of the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I, there are no constitutional clauses which give Congress the specific power regulate non-military arms.
So corrupt, RINO-controlled Congress, lawmakers seemingly scared of the votes that they might lose from low-information citizens by coming down on Obama, arguably let Obama get away with stealing 10th Amendment-protected state powers to make his unconstitutional lead ammo ban edict.
Drain the swamp! Drain the swamp!
Remember in November ’18 !
Since Trump entered the ’16 presidential race too late for patriots to make sure that there were state sovereignty-respecting candidates on the primary ballots, patriots need make sure that such candidates are on the ’18 primary ballots so that they can be elected to support Trump in draining the unconstitutionally big federal government swamp.
Such a Congress will also be able to finish draining the swamp with respect to getting the remaining state sovereignty-ignoring, activist justices off of the bench.
Noting that the primaries start in Iowa and New Hampshire in February ‘18, patriots need to challenge candidates for federal office in the following way.
Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.
Patriots also need to find candidates that are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed below.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphasis added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
I did remember the article and all gun Freepers were up in arms. Funny that Zinke did this when his idiot boss is retiring the next day LOL
Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke arrived on horseback for his first day of work.
"Secretary Zinke was proud to accept an invitation by the U.S. Park Police to stand shoulder to shoulder with their Officers on his first ay at the Dept. of Interior" said a spokeswoman. .
I just wish he wasn’t so adamant about not returning land to the states it was taken from. Often that land is empty and barren, with little or no running water or animal life, so protestations about hunting or fishing are foolish.
The sole real purpose of the land takings in the first place was to prevent states from enjoying their own prosperity, instead of having to appeal to the federal government for the temporary and expensive use of their state lands.
At least *prioritize* these lands. Certainly there are some “crown jewels”, as well as pristine land for hunting a fishing. But that is just a small part of the takings.
Preserve them, if you must, but give the states back their land with little or no value on their surface.
One rule/regulation does not make me jump for joy and declare victory.
SERIOUS tear-downs of the status-quo? Mass reductions in the ‘work-force’? I’ll raise a hoot and glass...
Zero out the budget? Let me shake your hand for a step in restoring our Republic.
But, Fedzilla is still WAY outside its boundaries and size; one rule rescinded (reversed by the next) does not maketh squat.
Reminds of the story about the gold miner during the California Gold Rush who wrote off to a mail order house in Chicago for a mail order bride. His letter stipulated a lengthly list of traits and requirements for his perfect bride.
Well, he waited and waited and waited and still no bride arrived. So he writes again to the mail order house asking what the holdup was.
The mail order company wrote back and told him, "Sir, we're sorry for the delay but based on your long list of requirements, no such woman exists".
Stop your complaining' and count your blessings that at least he rescinded this rule the first day. Because it foretells many more good things to come.

A journey of a thousand miles starts with placing one foot in front of the other. One doesn’t just leapfrog the whole thousand miles in one fell swoop. The guy’s been in office one day and recinds this Obama order and you complain that it isn’t “squat” because more needs be done to satisfy your wishes?
>
MY wishes? How ‘bout defending & upholding the Constitution; which should be ALL of our wish(es)
There are 20K+ illegal ‘laws’\rules\regs vs. the 2nd ALONE, and you think removing a single one does anything to the leviathan of unconstitutional govt?

The move from NY to DC took a wagon to carry all that was Law. How many box-cars would it take today?
Thanks, but no. When MUCH more *could* have been done already, I’m not one content on just scraps. I shouldn’t be alone in the sediment.
You sound like a spoiled child throwing a tantrum. But we can forgive them because we understand that they don't know any better. But you should.
More has been accomplished in six weeks than I can ever remember. Most rational people know that draining the swamp will take some time.
