Thankfully, the House, Senate and President Trump undid the Obama treachery against the elderly recently. Trump’s new interior secretary just undid the Obama treachery towards shooters, hunters, fishermen and those who want to defend themselves.
Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke signed an order Thursday overturning a ban on using lead ammunition on wildlife refuges.
Zinke signed the order on his first day in office, overturning a policy implemented by former Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) Director Dan Ashe on Jan. 19, the Obama administration’s last full day in office.
Ashe’s policy banned the use of lead ammunition and fishing tackle on all FWS wildlife refuges that allow hunting or fishing, as well as in all other hunting or fishing regulated by the agency elsewhere.
It was meant to help prevent plants and animals from being poisoned by lead left on the ground or in the water.
“After reviewing the order and the process by which it was promulgated, I have determined that the order is not mandated by any existing statutory or regulatory requirement and was issued without significant communication, consultation or coordination with affected stakeholders,” Zinke wrote in his order.
No it wasn’t. That’s a lie. It had nothing to do with protection of the environment. It was simply an anti-gun measure, one of many the Obama administration wanted to take.
And no it wasn’t. It wasn’t mandated by any existing statutory or regulatory requirement. And no they didn’t – the Obama administration didn’t go through any rule making prior to this silly waste of time.
Go to hell, Obama. Now, there is much more treachery to undo. Get busy.
