(GunReports.com) — The battle over a potential lead shot ban for dove hunting continues to rage in Des Moines, the NRA-ILA reports.
NRA-ILA writes, “This issue is far bigger than many Second Amendment supporters in the Hawkeye state realize. This is not an attack on just the newly-established dove season, but a direct attack on both hunters and shooters.”
House Joint Resolution 2001, legislation that would prevent Iowa from being the first state to impose a comprehensive ban on lead ammunition, has already passed in the state House of Representatives 73 to 27.
However, anti-hunting and anti-gun extremists in the Senate majority caucus are working to prevent a Senate floor vote on HJR 2001. If they succeed, Iowa will be the first state in the country to impose a statewide ban on the use of traditional ammunition.
