(GunReports.com) — Legislation to clarify the longstanding exemption of ammunition and ammunition components under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) of 1976 now has more than 100 co-sponsors in the U.S. House of Representatives, the National Shooting Sports Foundation reports.
This recognition is a major milestone. Known as the Hunting, Fishing and Recreational Shooting Protection Act, this bi-partisan legislation was introduced at the NSSF Congressional Fly-In by Reps. Jeff Miller and Mike Ross in the House and Sens. Jon Tester and John Thune in the Senate, following continued attacks by anti-hunting groups to ban traditional ammunition (ammunition containing lead-core components) under the TSCA.
As co-sponsorship continues to grow in the House, NSSF is now renewing its focus in the Senate, where the bill has 19 co-sponsors.
