Roger Williams Statement on Passage of SHARE Act

February 26, 2016

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Roger Williams (R-Texas) today released the following statement in response to the passage of H.R. 2406, The Sportsmen’s Heritage and Recreational Enhancement Act of 2015 (SHARE Act).

“Passage of the SHARE Act will give greater access to federal lands for sportsmen, while protecting our Second Amendment Rights,” said Williams. “President Obama and his Administration will continue to restrict access to federal lands for hunting, fishing, and recreational shooting unless congressional action is taken. I’m proud today to support this common sense, bi-partisan legislation that will eliminate regulatory impediments against outdoor sporting activities.”

The SHARE Act, which is supported by more than 50 of the nation’s leading conservation groups, passed the House by a vote of 242 – 161.
