Lead Ammunition Legislation Signed Into Law Benefitting Sportsmens’ Traditions – See more at: http://www.sportsmenslink.org/the-media-room/news/lead-ammunition-legislation-signed-into-law-benefitting-sportsmens-traditio#sthash.ZAYmlBxE.dpuf

Recently, President Obama signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act of 2015, which included a provision precluding the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from asserting Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA) authority over firearm ammunition and its component parts. A priority for hunters and recreational shooters, the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation (CSF) applauds the commitment Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus Members who worked in bipartisan fashion to ensure the inclusion of this provision.

In recent years, the use of lead ammunition while hunting has become a focal point for anti-hunting groups who claim these components have a detrimental effect on wildlife. Legislators, sportsmen, and the outdoor industry are seeing an increased number of bills directed at reducing or eliminating lead ammunition and fishing tackle. These efforts are generally not based on sound science, but rather on the emotional assumption that isolated incidents of animals ingesting harmful levels of lead translates to impacts on entire populations.

NSSF Hails Passage of Priority Legislation

NEWTOWN, Conn. – The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®) today hailed Congressional passage of legislation that precludes the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from asserting Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA) authority over ammunition and its component parts. A top legislative priority for the NSSF, this important provision was included in the National Defense Authorization Act of 2015 that President Obama signed into law as the nation began the long Thanksgiving holiday.

In recent years, radical anti-hunting organizations have been trying to force the EPA to issue a regulation under TSCA to ban traditional ammunition made with lead components. Had they prevailed it would have resulted in detrimental impacts on countless manufacturing facilities and increased costs to the Department of Defense. In addition, the assertion of TSCA jurisdiction over traditional ammunition would have resulted in considerable reductions to the excise taxes ammunition manufacturers pay on the sale of their products that is a critical source of wildlife and habitat conservation funding throughout the country.

New Civic Duty Self-Defense Round

Winder, GA- G2 Research–introduces its NEW Civic Duty round for serious self- defense. Designed to reliably and quickly expand to 2.5 times its caliber, this new round delivers incredible attack stopping energy, large wound area and excellent penetration.

A “humble” 100-grain 9mm Civic Duty bullet will open up to 0.855 inches, creating a near-instant fight-stopping wound by effectively delivering all of its energy inside the target.

The Civic Duty bullet is a solid copper, CNC-machined bullet that upon entering the target immediately begins expansion as a large hollow point. At initial contact, six large petals of the jacket peel back to create a fight-stopping wound. Unlike conventional hollow point bullets – which may not expand reliably due to clothing filling up the hollow point, the Civic Duty will indeed reliably open up because of its peeling petal design.
