ATK, whose business groups include the nation’s largest ammunition manufacturer, has been chosen as the recipient of the 2009 Cabela Lifetime Business Achievement Award. The presentation was made today during a Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show reception at the Rosen Centre Hotel in Orlando, Florida.

The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance (USSA), the nation’s leader in defending your right to hunt, fish and trap, and Remington Arms. Inc, the world’s leading manufacturer of firearms, ammunition, targets and accessories, have created a contest to recognize America’s successful deer hunters.  

There continues to be speculation as to who will become President-elect Barack Obama’s Secretary of the Interior. However, two names have moved to the head of the pack: U.S. Representatives Raul M. Grijalva (D-AZ) and Mike Thompson (D- CA).   

The United States Sportsmen’s Alliance (USSA) expresses its dismay today over the news that U.S. Representative Henry Waxman (D- CA) toppled Representative John Dingell (D- MI) as Chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Rep. Dingell has been a tireless champion of sportsmen issues for decades, while Rep. Waxman has a long history of supporting the causes of extremist animal rights and anti-firearm groups. 

The Humane Society of the United States wasted no time trying to take advantage of a recent study from North Dakota regarding the possible dangers of consuming wild game harvested by lead ammunition. On November 10, HSUS issued a call for the nationwide banning of lead ammunition after the release of the report by the North Dakota Department of Health (NDDoH) that had been conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The USSA has already issued a statement that deflates key arguments made by HSUS.

On November 11, PETA sent a letter to the Governor of Arizona, Janet Napolitano, urging support of legislation that would ban hunting by anyone younger than 18 saying that that hunting teaches “children to see others as nothing more than living targets.”

The incoming Obama Administration appears to be throwing cold water on job applicants that own firearms. In a questionnaire for potential new employees, question 59 should send shivers up the spines of sportsmen.

The United States Sportsmen’s Alliance (USSA) emphatically opposes the anti-hunters’ recent call for a nationwide ban on lead ammunition. Such a statement is an extreme policy proposal that is not supported by the facts.

The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance (USSA) decries the most recent effort of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) to ban hunting in Arizona.
