First day in office
h/t InstapunditOn his first full day in office, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke issued an order Thursday reversing a last-minute action by the Obama administration to ban lead ammunition and fish tackle used on national wildlife refuges. Gun-rights supporters condemned the earlier order -- issued a day before Obama left office Jan. 20 -- as nakedly political. The order was intended to protect birds from lead poisoning, the Obama administration said. Zinke, a former Montana congressman and avid hunter, said the new order would increase hunting, fishing and recreation opportunities on lands managed by Fish and Wildlife Service.
