Daines, Colleagues Side with Sportsmen, Urge Biden Admin Against Banning Lead Ammo & Tackle on Public Lands
U.S. SENATE – U.S. Senator Steve Daines today led a group of his Senate Republican colleagues in urging Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Martha Williams not to cave in to activists’ calls to restrict the use of lead ammo and tackle on public lands. “Policies or actions that reduce or limit sportsmen activities necessarily implicate wildlife conservation programs by affecting state agencies’ revenue. Such policies or actions also handcuff wildlife managers by removing a critical conservation tool while needlessly alienating one of our original conservationists, sportsmen.
