"President Trump is committed to expanding public access on public lands, and this proposal is executing on that directive by opening and increasing more access to hunting and fishing by the Fish and Wildlife Service at more stations and across more acres than ever before," said Secretary Bernhardt. "Hunting and fishing are more than just traditional pastimes as they are also vital to the conservation of our lands and waters, our outdoor recreation economy, and our American way of life. These refuges and hatcheries provide incredible opportunities for sportsmen and women and their families across the country to pass on a fishing and hunting heritage to future generations and connect with wildlife."   LEGAL & LEGISLATION Vermont: Your Action Needed – Urge Governor to Veto Waiting Period Legislation Yesterday, waiting period legislation S.169 was delivered to the desk of Governor Phil Scott for his consideration.   LEGAL & LEGISLATION Arizona: Legislature Adjourned Sine Die On May 28th, the Arizona Legislature adjourned sine die from the 2019 legislative session.  During this session, the House passed House Bill 2693 to improve the ability of law-abiding citizens to defend themselves and their families by reducing arbitrary boundaries that leave them defenseless.  Unfortunately, the Senate failed to pass this legislation when it reached the floor.  SHARE THIS EMAIL   HELP DEFEND SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS   Donate Now  Register To Vote  Write Your Lawmakers  Volunteer!    FOLLOW NRA-ILA © 2017 National Rifle Association of America, Institute For Legislative Action.
