The Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs is urging Pennsylvania sportsmen to contact their U.S. Senator and urge their support for the Sportsmens Act of 2012. The act is being hailed as the most important single piece of pro-sportsmen legislation in a decade, was filed as an amendment to the farm bill. It would clarify that ammunition is excluded from regulation by the Environmental Protection Agency under the Toxic Substances Control Act.
Anti-hunting groups led by the Center for Biological Diversity are in the process of suing the EPA to force a ban on traditional lead-based ammunition. This suit, if successful, would devastate hunting and shooting sports participation and drive the prices of ammo by 200 percent, thereby drying up conservation funding.
