First it was the Bronx and Queens when U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) asserted with zero scientific evidence that traditional lead hunting ammunition \u201cpoisons everything in sight.\u201d Now, anti-hunting Democratic lawmakers in the state\u2019s capital are pushing an egregiously anti-hunting bill under the guise of being \u201cneighborly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t fall for any of it. It\u2019s a bunch of baloney to punish good, law-abiding Americans who are actually responsible for the stewardship of America\u2019s wildlife and habitat \u2013 hunters. You know, the people at whom anti-hunter, anti-gun politicians like Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, Speaker Emeritus Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and others deride, sneer and label as&nbsp;<strong>\u201c<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nssf.org\/articles\/gun-control-elite-politicians-rebrand-bitter-clingers-faux-pas-as-poor-souls\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-ny-lawmakers-running-biden-admin-anti-hunting-playbook\" title=\"NY Lawmakers Running Familiar Biden Admin. Anti-Hunting Playbook\"><strong>poor souls<\/strong><\/a><strong>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The anti-science push to punish hunters is making its way up the Hudson River to Albany. Proposed legislation there has New Yorkers who live Upstate and anywhere outside the New York City area concerned and for good reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-good-neighbor-foolery\">\u2018Good Neighbor\u2019 Foolery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As local news outlet North Country Now appropriately&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northcountrynow.com\/stories\/slc-legislators-call-on-state-to-reject-legislation-that-could-close-shooting-ranges,239967\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-ny-lawmakers-running-biden-admin-anti-hunting-playbook\" title=\"NY Lawmakers Running Familiar Biden Admin. Anti-Hunting Playbook\">describes<\/a>,<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cA newly proposed bill in the New York Senate is a gun control law being presented under the guise of an environmental law.\u201d It\u2019s a familiar play run by gun control and anti-hunting activists when they know they can\u2019t win on the merits. In this case, it\u2019s New York State Democratic Sen. Peter Harchkham. He represents downstate Putnam, Rockland and Westchester counties just a bit north of Rep. Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s congressional district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sen. Harchkham\u2019s bill, deceivingly titled \u201cThe Sporting Range Good Neighbor Act,\u201d would implement stringent regulations on the locations and potential size of recreational sport shooting ranges if they are in close proximity to waterways, marshes, wetlands and open water sources. It sits in a state Senate committee at the moment for consideration but has already received two amendments that would broaden the restrictions beyond trap and skeet ranges to include rifle and pistol ranges at rod and gun clubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Upstate New York, lawmakers in the North Country were having none of Sen. Harchkham\u2019s proposed bill. They decried the deceitful purpose and urged DEC to reject it out of hand. St. Lawrence County legislators even passed a resolution at their recent operations committee meeting that calls on state officials to scrap the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s just call it what it is. It\u2019s an attack on the Second Amendment,\u201d said Norwood Legislator Glenn Webster, who proposed the resolution of rejection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-also-escort-s-bts-bullpup-the-russian-drone-killer-nra-2024\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/escorts-bts-bullpup-the-russian-drone-killer-nra-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-ny-lawmakers-running-biden-admin-anti-hunting-playbook\" title=\"NY Lawmakers Running Familiar Biden Admin. Anti-Hunting Playbook\">Escort\u2019s BTS Bullpup: The Russian Drone Killer! \u2014 NRA 2024<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fellow St. Lawrence Country Legislator Jim Reagan voiced similar concerns. He decried Sen. Harchkham\u2019s bill as just another example of downstate politicians attempting to pass anti-hunting, anti-gun legislation because \u201cthey do not understand our way of life in the North Country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis has to be fought every way. It is an attack on lawful gun ownership,\u201d Reagan said. \u201cOnce they get their toe in the door, the rest of them are coming in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Legislator Ben Hull added his perspective. \u201cI see this as an attempt to extinguish a cultural heritage of responsible gun ownership and usage for may be a marginal benefit to the environment. But at what cost?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cost-and-science\">Cost and Science<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Legislator Hull brings up a salient point. The push to eliminate the heritage and traditions of responsible gun owners and hunters who use recreational shooting ranges to pass on skills, education and training to the next generation of outdoorsmen and women conservationists is brought by those who have no science to back up their claims and no regard for the consequential costs of their policies. A similar anti-conservation scheme was seen recently farther south in Washington, D.C., by Rep. Ocasio-Cortez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At a Congressional hearing, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nssf.org\/articles\/poison-everything-rep-ocasio-cortez-misfires-with-junk-science-on-traditional-ammo-ban\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-ny-lawmakers-running-biden-admin-anti-hunting-playbook\" title=\"NY Lawmakers Running Familiar Biden Admin. Anti-Hunting Playbook\">pleaded<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;with Republicans not to adopt a proposal that would require the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture to provide site-specific, peer-reviewed scientific data that demonstrates traditional lead ammunition or fishing tackle is causing detrimental wildlife population impacts before prohibiting their use on federal lands. It\u2019s the same line of concern brought by New York state Sen. Harchkham back in Albany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cH.R. 615 would prohibit the Bureau of Land Management, the Forest Service and the Fish and Wildlife Service from prohibiting or regulating lead ammunition or tackle on federal lands and waters \u2013 even though alternatives do exist that do not poison everything in sight,\u201d Rep. Ocasio-Cortez&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nssf.org\/articles\/poison-everything-rep-ocasio-cortez-misfires-with-junk-science-on-traditional-ammo-ban\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-ny-lawmakers-running-biden-admin-anti-hunting-playbook\" title=\"NY Lawmakers Running Familiar Biden Admin.

Republicans on the House of RepresentativesNatural Resources Committee, she said, \u201care putting forward an agenda brought to you by G.O.P. \u2013 guns, oil and polluters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Except \u2013 it\u2019s all a lie. Traditional lead-based ammunition doesn\u2019t \u201cpoison everything in sight,\u201d and doesn\u2019t lead to detrimental environmental impacts on federal lands or in New York. There is zero scientific evidence that suggests such a thing. That\u2019s because the use by hunters and recreational target shooters \u2013 like thousands in New York \u2013 doesn\u2019t pose a risk, not to humans nor the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>N.Y. state Sen. Harchkham and Rep. Ocasio-Cortez aren\u2019t the only ones making the absurd anti-hunting, anti-science claim. Officials within the Biden administration regularly push policies that restrict and penalize hunters on the very public lands that their hunting and recreational shooting activities benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bait-and-switch\">Bait and Switch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Biden administration executives have used their perches to push prohibitions on traditional hunting and recreational shooting activities for a few years. It started in 2022, when the U.S. Fish &amp; Wildlife Service (USFWS) codified a Final Rule that presented hunters with a \u201cbait-and-switch\u201d deal that banned the use of traditional ammunition while opening 18 National Wildlife Refuges (NWRs) for new hunting and fishing opportunities. USFWS claimed it \u201cremains concerned that lead ammunition and fishing tackle have negative impacts on both human health and wildlife.\u201d It also warned hunters that the future use on additional USFWS lands were open to evaluation.

Rep. Wittman (R-Va.) used time in a House Natural Resources Committee oversight hearing to press Secretary Haaland on the science and data behind the Biden administration\u2019s actions that banned traditional ammunition on some wildlife refuges. After asking her for the evidence and scientific studies used to determine the decision, Sec. Haaland demurred, stating, \u201cI can\u2019t cite those for you at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elected officials like Rep. Ocasio-Cortez in Washington, D.C., and state Sen.
