Lead ammo ban…

[dawsonscreek]

I recently read that the ban on lead ammo on public land or NYC watersheds has passed the assembly and now would go to the the Governor and senate. I’m new to politics and voting, just wondering what the best way to voice an opinion against this would be. Who do I write?  Is this addressed at the polls? I doubt Hochul would give 2 💩 about hunters, but this, if passed would be devastating. Ammo is already hard to find and $$$ along with everything else. But the non-lead stuff is absolutely insane! I probably hunt 50/50 private/public more so public during turkey season.

Assembly Bill

You can choose NAY on both.

 

You can also reach out to the Governor to urge her to veto it. I know most of us think this process does not work but I have seen bills get Vetoed that seemed like slam dunks because a bunch of people reached out to the Governor.

Good luck finding non-lead 12ga slugs.  I know there isn't a bunch of DEC land in Niagara/Erie county, but still an issue.

Looks like the Bill never made it. I am sure they will try again next year.
