Congressman Tim Ryan Votes To Enhance the Rights of Hunters, Fishers, and Recreational Shooters

Press Release

Washington, D.C. -- Congressman Ryan today voted in favor of H.R. 3890, the Sportsmen's Heritage and Recreational Enhancement (SHARE) Act. This legislation will ease excessive regulation on sportsmen and outdoor enthusiasts across our nation; furthermore, it will return some governing power to the states.

"Every American citizen should have the right to enjoy and participate in national pastimes such as hunting and fishing, and while no bill is perfect, I am committed to the freedoms and rights of responsible, law abiding sporting enthusiasts," said Congressman Ryan. "The United States has a wealth of natural beauty and wildlife that has to be protected, but we also have the right to experience and enjoy it firsthand."

The SHARE Act will ease regulations that burden outdoor sporting enthusiasts. Fisherman, recreational shooters, and hunters alike will be afforded the chance to access federal public lands and waters in the pursuit of their hobbies -- with reasonable exceptions. This bill will establish a committee to advise the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture on wildlife, habitat conservation, recreational hunting and shooting. This legislation assures that outdoor enthusiasts everywhere will have their voices heard in Washington.
