Bill Brassard - National Shooting Sports Foundation

The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) is intervening in a lawsuit aiming to ban traditional lead ammunition. This marks the latest in a series of attempts by environmental groups to have the EPA prohibit lead ammunition, despite previous denials and court rulings. The NSSF highlights the potential devastating impact on wildlife conservation, hunters, shooters, law enforcement, and the military, citing a projected 190% price increase for ammunition. Concurrently, legislation like the Sportsman's Act is being advanced to clarify the EPA's lack of jurisdiction over ammunition.

The EPA has denied a petition from the Center for Biological Diversity seeking to ban traditional ammunition, citing a lack of jurisdiction under the Toxic Substances Control Act. This marks the second denial for similar petitions, with the EPA stating the latest filing was essentially identical to a previous one. Legislation, specifically HR 4089, the Sportsman's Heritage Act of 2012, is being advanced to further clarify that the EPA cannot regulate ammunition components.

This video discusses the legal and legislative efforts surrounding potential bans on lead ammunition and fishing tackle, as well as the push to allow Sunday hunting in Virginia and Pennsylvania. Larry Keane of the National Shooting Sports Foundation explains the implications of the EPA potentially banning lead ammunition under the Toxic Substances Control Act, despite congressional exemptions. The conversation also covers the legislative push for the Hunting, Fishing, and Recreational Shooting Sports Protection Act (HR 1558/S 838) to clarify these exemptions and addresses the opposition to Sunday hunting laws from Farm Bureaus in Virginia and Pennsylvania.

This video discusses a significant legal victory for gun owners and hunters, stemming from a lawsuit dismissed by the US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit.

Expert analysis highlights the ruling's implications for the Second Amendment and potential parallels to gun company liability.

This video discusses a petition filed by the Center for Biological Diversity with the EPA to ban traditional lead-core ammunition under the Toxic Substance Control Act. NSSF argues this ban would impact sportsmen, target shooters, and law enforcement, and that claims of harm to wildlife and human health are unsubstantiated. The video highlights that conservation funding relies on excise taxes from ammunition sales.

This video analyzes a significant 7-2 Supreme Court ruling concerning federal preemption over state tort law, specifically in the context of Monsanto's Roundup herbicide. The ruling, authored by Justice Kavanaugh, establishes that federal law, particularly FIFRA (Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act), preempts state lawsuits that would require companies to alter product labeling beyond what the EPA has approved. This decision has major implications for tens of thousands of existing and future lawsuits against companies regarding product warnings.
