Dr. Bucshon Votes to Protect Hunting, Fishing Rights

Statement

Date: Feb. 5, 2014

On Wednesday, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 3590, the Sportsmen's Heritage and Recreational Enhancement (SHARE) Act, a bill to protect the traditional right of Americans to hunt and fish.

Rep. Bucshon (IN-08) released the following statement regarding the passage of H.R. 3590:

"Today, we protected the 2nd Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens on federal lands and their use of traditional ammunition and tackle. We also reaffirmed the right of Hoosiers to use public lands for hunting, fishing, and shooting in compliance with existing laws by removing unnecessary federal roadblocks. These activities are important pastimes for many families, help educate young people about safety and responsibility, and contribute to our local economies. I'm happy the House passed H.R. 3095 to address many of the pressing concerns of Hoosier sportsmen and women and reinforce our nation's commitment to our heritage."
