EPA Denies Anti-Hunting Group's Latest Petition to Ban Traditional 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.
