Not sure if this should be here or in the 'Political' section.

The last throw of the dice before he left the Whitehouse.

Dont know if its true or if it will affect any of you guys...........

The thought did occur to me that the ban would also apply to ammunition carried in SD weapons. Does it also mean an end to Muzzle loader seasons for those that hunt on federal land.?

And does it apply to Federal/State LEO's who carry weapons during the course of carrying out their duties?

I have searched and finally found this...........
DIRECTOR'S ORDER NO. 219
Subject: USE OF NONTOXIC AMMUNITION AND FISHING TACKLE

Was issued on 19th Jan 2017

It will probably get rescinded- - - - -or just ignored. I'm reminded of Andrew Jackson's challenge to the Supreme Court to enforce a ruling it made against him. Anybody remember the Volstead Act? That's another example of passing an unenforceable law.
