EPA Denies Ammo Ban Petition

 

Friday, August 27, 2010

 

Responding to a grassroots outcry from gun owners, the Environmental Protection Agency today announced that it has denied a petition by

the Center for Biological Diversity and other radical groups that had sought to ban the use of lead in ammunition.

Agreeing with the position of the NRA and the firearms industry, the agency explained in a news release that it “does not have the legal

authority to regulate this type of product under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).”  Further crushing the hopes of anti-gun and anti-

hunting activists, the release added: “nor is the agency seeking such authority.”

“It’s outrageous that this petition even went this far,” said Chris W. Cox, NRA-ILA Executive Director.  “We applaud the EPA for its

understanding of the law and its common sense in this situation -- both of which were totally missing in the petition filed by these extreme

anti-gun and anti-hunting groups.”

Because the EPA has no power to regulate ammunition, it will not move ahead with a public comment period on the petition.  However, a

comment period will remain open until September 15 on the other part of the petition, which asks EPA to ban the use of lead in fishing

sinkers. 

Be sure to watch for more coverage of this important victory in next week’s Grassroots Alert and in NRA’s magazines.
