“lead ammunition”

Effective July 1, 2019, certified non-lead ammunition is required when harvesting any game with a firearm in California.

Thanks to the help and support of gun owners across the nation, the EPA has denied the petition to ban lead ammunition.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) has condemned the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Proposed Rule that would ban lead ammunition on 48 new distinct hunting opportunities across approximately 3,000 acres of National Wildlife Refuges (NWRs). 

Just one day before President Trump's inauguration, departing U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Dan Ashe—and the administration that appointed him—took one last shot at American hunters by issuing Director's Order No. 219, which directs the USFWS to expand the use of nontoxic ammunition and fishing tackle on USFWS lands, water and facilities—and for certain types of hunting and fishing regulated by the Service outside those areas—to the fullest extent by January 2022.

As the legislative, legal and political arm of the NRA, the Institute for Legislative Action (ILA) steadfastly advances America's rich hunting heritage and stands guard against anti-hunting attacks at the federal, state and local levels.

New Secretary of the Interior, Ryan Zinke, issued a pair Secretarial Orders during his first day on the job—both of which make his allegiance with American hunters very clear.

The National Rifle Association joined several other organizations to appeal an erroneous decision of the U.S. District Court for the District of Montana, denying the pro-hunting organizations’ efforts to intervene in and defend the expansion of hunting opportunities on federal lands.

The Sportsmen's Heritage and Recreational Enhancement (SHARE) Act has passed in the U.S. House of Representatives by a vote of 268-154 and is en route to the Senate.
