AMMUNITION BAN ALERT
Text of the Bill.
Summary: "To amend the Toxic Substances Control Act to ensure that the public and
the environment are protected from risks of chemical exposure, and
for other purposes."
What might those "other purposes" be?
Background: Approximately a month ago, the EPA struck down it's proposal to ban traditional ammunition. But oh! Not to worry! Congressman Bobby Rush (D-Illinois) found a way to sneak in the SAME effective provisions into H.R. 5820 without using the terms "ammunition," "firearm," "handgun," "hunting," or any other word which would similarly let those of us interested in 2A rights know that a bill, or at least a portion of the bill, was being targeted towards laying the groundwork for an outright ban on traditional ammunition.
That's right, folks. See page 44, item (b)(1)(A), which gives the EPA Administrator the authority to shut down production, sales, and distribution of firearms ammunition if his organization (the EPA) finds any evidence of danger to the environment or people, regardless of the extent of that danger. That's right, folks - when you exhale, you're a danger to the environment. The EPA won't do anything about that, but this extremely left-wing organization WILL continue to do everything in it's power to ban ammunition altogether.
Write your Congressman!!!!!
Please tell them NO WAY when it comes to H.R. 5820, and tell them why, that's it's a sneaky, underhanded, below-board trick by Rush to backdoor EPA's previous attempt to ban ammunition earlier this summer.
I swore to protect and defend our Constitution, and did just than for 21 years and counting. Sneaky, underhanded politics are NOT what our country is all about! We are a nation of honest people, and we will NOT stand for those who attempt to to back-door special-interest measures under the radar.
While you're at it, if you're from Illinois, please both spread the word and hit the polls to ensure Rush is soon given ample opportunity to find a job more suited to his demeanor.
