•      "As a lifelong hunter and recreational fisherman, I was appalled by the Biden-Harris administration’s quest to restrict access for our nation’s sportsmen and women who use traditional lead fishing tackle and ammunition on federal lands and waters. We cannot allow a ridiculous ban like this to happen again. Effective environmental stewardship and wildlife conservation rely on the valuable contributions of our hunters and anglers, and affordable lead ammunition and tackle are crucial to reducing financial barriers that limit accessibility for sportsmen and women."

•      "H.R. 615, with elegant simplicity, establishes important safeguards to protect access for hunters and anglers to our public lands. These safeguards are becoming increasingly critical as animal extremist groups continue to pressure federal land managers to restrict hunting and angling through whatever means possible. Although there are many attacks, among the issues favored by the animal extremist groups in recent times is to press for lead ammunition and fishing tackle bans on public lands. H.R. 615 addresses this issue directly. The bill protects access by ensuring that the Departments of Agriculture and Interior engage in careful evaluation of the effects of lead exposure for a specific unit of public land (under agency control) before banning the use of lead ammunition or fishing tackle on such property."
