Maine: Committee to Vote on Lead Ammo Ban Bill Wednesday

Dear [Lawmaker],

As a fellow Mainer, I urge you to OPPOSE LD 1364 and vote "Ought Not To Pass" in your committee.

LD 1364 is an anti-hunting bill that seeks to direct the State of Maine to commission a study of the impacts on and risks to wildlife, humans, and the environment of using lead-based ammunition. As seen throughout the country, commissioning these types of studies is the initial action taken by anti-hunting groups to implement their extreme long-term agenda. If passed, this bill would begin the process of potentially banning traditional ammunition, which would decrease hunting participation due to the substantial increase in the cost of ammunition. Maine has over 200,000 hunting license holders, which provides over $307,000,000 in annual economic impact. Restricting Maine's hunting economy through ammunition bans would reduce critical Pittman-Robertson funding and negatively impact Maine's rural economies.

Again, I urge you to OPPOSE LD 1364.

Thank you for all that you do for the great state of Maine.

Sincerely,
______
