The USFWS, according to their press release, indicated that this measure is based on the best scientific data available, however no data indicates that traditional ammunition is causing population declines of any wildlife species at any of the refuges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/hunt365-antigun-anti-hunting-professors-need-to-go-back-to-school\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-nssf-opposes-usfws-scientifically-unjustified-traditional-ammo-ban\" title=\"NSSF Opposes USFWS Scientifically Unjustified Traditional Ammo Ban\">Antigun, Anti-Hunting Professors Need to Go Back to School<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The anti-hunting Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) filed a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www2.nssf.org\/e\/127421\/e20petition-CBD-2022-06-08-pdf\/4jltps\/608298713?h=Bv7bluMonuNUyTNsLitYpFGIgduol-xZAxwHnRpnFKo\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-nssf-opposes-usfws-scientifically-unjustified-traditional-ammo-ban\" title=\"NSSF Opposes USFWS Scientifically Unjustified Traditional Ammo Ban\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>petition<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;yesterday with the Department of the Interior calling for a Director\u2019s Order requiring the phaseout of traditional ammunition on the entire Refuge System and initiate formal rulemaking to phase out traditional ammunition by Sept. 30, 2024. The timing of CBD\u2019s petition raises questions about whether it was filed to coincide with today\u2019s proposed rule. CBD had earlier sued USFWS in federal court in Montana seeking a ban on traditional ammunition for hunting on federal lands.
