ACTION ALERT: California Anti-Hunting Lead Ban Headed for Vote


Take Action! - California sportsmen and all sportsmen that have a vested interest in this bill should call members of the Senate Appropriations committee TODAY and respectfully ask them to vote NO on Assembly Bill 711.

Calling all members on the Senate Appropriations committee should take no longer than 10 minutes of your time.

Possible script for you calls:

“I am calling to respectfully request that the Senator vote NO on Assembly Bill 711.”

If they ask where you are calling from, if you are not calling from California, you might reply with something like the following (if you can sincerely/honestly make the statement):

“I may come to hunt in California in the future, so I have an interest in the outcome of this bill.”

If you have family or friends in California, you can mention that as well.


Please be sure to pass this on to your contact list.

California Anti-Hunting Lead Ban Headed for Vote

Posted on August 27, 2013

Earlier this spring the California Assembly passed Bill 711, sponsored by Assembly Member Anthony Rendon (D-Lakewood), which would ban the use of all traditional lead ammunition for hunting throughout the state.

In June, the bill was placed in the Senate Appropriations Committee’s suspense file after a strong outpouring of opposition from sportsmen.

Further action is needed from sportsmen to keep the bill from being voted on by the Committee!   Anti-hunting groups, including the Humane Society of the United States, are lobbying hard to pass the bill.

“California sportsmen and gun owners need to act today to stop AB 711,” said Evan Heusinkveld, U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance Director of Government Affairs.  “Anti-hunting groups know that this bill will limit the availability of ammo and drive up the already rising prices, all in an effort to drive down participation of hunters and recreational shooters.”

Although the bill is aimed at hunting, a complete ban on the use of traditional lead ammunition could easily be extended to all shooting sports.

Take Action! - California sportsmen should call members of the Senate Appropriations committee TODAY and tell them to vote NO on Assembly Bill 711.  Members of the Committee can be reached at:

Sen. Kevin de Leon (Chair)

(916) 651-4022

Help California defeat this lead ban BS.  The next stop for lead ban advocates just might be Washington.
