Washington – September 20, 2026 -- President Donald Trump signed a "Reinvigorating America's Hunting Heritage" Executive Order on Sept. 17, 2026, locking in protections for traditional ammunition and expanding hunter access to federal lands, a move the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) says secures the industry's manufacturing base and conservation-funding pipeline.

Order blocks bans on traditional ammunition sought by manufacturers

The Executive Order bars restrictions on traditional ammunition and fishing tackle, an outcome NSSF lobbied for after warning that mandated alternative ammunition costs several times more than lead-based rounds. NSSF President and CEO Joe Bartozzi, who attended the Rose Garden signing, called the order "a tremendous victory" for the industry and said NSSF "led this fight" alongside the White House and the Department of the Interior.
