“Protecting access for hunters and anglers act”

[Jim/Wa]

Looks like this is coming up for a vote this week. I don’t see where a lot of the sportsman’s groups indicate positions on it. To me it looks like fluff politics but someone I’m close to works in the house and was asking me for an opinion. Has this topic been batted around here yet?

It's stupid. It should be voted down. Someone is trying to make a name for himself. That said, Congress is very into stupid, meaningless stuff right now.

Pretty dumb, and a waste of time/effort.
Maybe Representative Wittman could focus on a bill to prohibit the sale of public lands instead of this weak sauce?

FWIW, the senate version was brought forth by Daines. Personally, I can’t see reason to write a bill like this. What’s the point?

I've heard the argument on more than one bar stool that the way them rascally gun grabbers are going to take all our guns away is by first outlawing hunting with lead ammo. And the deep state is all in on it, so if an EA were passed it would be the end of the world. It's a slippery slope you know.
