To the EPA, Majority Leader Reid and Speaker Pelosi:
Whereas: The
Environmental Protection Agency is attempting to ban all hunting, target and
self- defense ammunition that contains even trace elements of lead, by citing
the Toxic Substance Control Act of 1976. The Act specifically exempts firearms
ammunition for the provision of the bill, and;
Whereas: There
is no scientific proof that ammunition containing lead has any negative
environmental impact, and;
Whereas: By attempting this rule change, the EPA has show a chilling contempt for the legislative process.
By circumventing the elected Representatives of the people, they are trampling
on the Constitution and the elected bodies of Congress, and;
Whereas: Any attempt to
ban ANY ammunition before an election will be responded to in kind at the ballot
box.
Therefore: I
demand you publicly condemn this outrageous attempt to ban ammunition by
bureaucratic rule change.
