The House voted 214-201 to block the Biden administration’s ban on the use of lead ammunition on federal lands or waters. The majority of votes supporting the block came from Republicans, with a few Democrats also voting in favor. The legislation, known as H.R. 615, was sponsored by Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA), who criticized the ban as being based on unscientific reasons. Wittman emphasized the importance of protecting access for hunters and anglers. Some Republicans, including Vern Buchanan, Brian Fitzpatrick, and Matt Gaetz, voted against the legislation.
