The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, however, said it would continue to review another section of the petition on the use of lead in fishing tackle. In denying the request on [...] With the fall hunting season fast approaching, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under Lisa Jackson, who was responsible for banning bear hunting in New Jersey, is now considering a petition by the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) – a leading anti-hunting organization – to ban all traditional ammunition under the Toxic [...] Firearms have been a hot topic in Arizona in recent months as several laws loosening gun regulations were recently enacted. And while it is too early to discern whether those laws, particularly SB 1108, which makes it legal for citizens 21 and older to carry a concealed weapon without a permit, will make things more difficult [...] WHATEVER SPIN Chicago Mayor Richard Daley and the city council wish to offer, it is their stubborn arrogance that has resulted in more gun rights lawsuits filed against the city following the Supreme Court’s June 28 ruling in McDonald v.
