ISRA Alert - HR398 Lead Shot Ban passes out of the Agriculture and Conservation Committee |
|
Today’s action in the Agriculture and Conservation Committee should serve as a lesson to all gun owners in Illinois.
Today HR398 which advises restricting lead shot shells passed out of committee on a partisan role call despite 1347 opposing witness slips to 2 proponents. Moreover, only one hour's notice was given on today's hearing. Even with such short notice, ISRA members were able to submit well over 1300 witness slips. Thank you for your quick action. All pro gun Democrats were substituted out of the Agriculture and Conservation Committee and replaced by anti gun Democrats. This is a slap in the face to all hunters and sportsmen in Illinois. It is also an attack on Winchester (Olin Corporation) who is a huge manufacturer of ammunition in the State of Illinois. Thousands of jobs would be effected if a lead shot shell ban was ever passed in Illinois. All hunters,sportsmen and gun owners must remember today's lesson, the Chicago Democrats will do anything to try to defeat us. Not a member of the ISRA? Join today.
