There’s hardly a gun control restriction that wouldn’t garner Rep. Ocasio-Cortez’s support and a ban on tradition lead ammunition is just that.

In a demonstration that America’s outdoors and recreational shooting sports pastimes still bring people together, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 615 in a bipartisan vote, sending the Protecting Access for Hunters and Anglers Act over to the U.S. Senate for consideration. The bill is strongly supported by NSSF and would require the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture to provide site-specific peer-reviewed scientific data that demonstrates traditional lead ammunition or fishing tackle is causing detrimental wildlife population impacts before prohibiting their use on federal lands.
That’s pretty straight forward and it certainly makes sense to “follow the science” before implementing any detrimental policy.
