Mr. Lipman,
The source is clearly stated at the end of the organization's release. I
fail to see the constructive intent of your remark. Do you think we are
here to waste your time? I am sure you are aware that we as publishing
professionals are well schooled with regard to proper procedures for
citations and attributions. I am certain that if the USSA posted it, it is
accurate.

Hopefully, you will invest the same energy in helping to defeat those that
seek to destroy our heritage.

| Suit Filed to End All Hunting, Fishing and Trapping
|
| In New Jersey


|
|
|
| (Columbus) - Anti-hunters today filed a lawsuit against the New Jersey
| Department of Environmental Protection to suspend all hunting, fishing
and
| trapping.
|
|
|
| The U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance Foundation is looking into the merits of
the
| case to determine what action to pursue.
|
|
|
| The case alleges that the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife has
| issued sporting licenses to convicted felons. To avoid future
instances,
| the plaintiffs are asking Judge Susan Reisner of the Superior Court of
New
| Jersey to suspend all hunting, fishing and trapping licenses until a
| background check system for all license buyers is put into place.
|
|
|
| "This is the most outrageous and blatant attack on sportsmen's rights
that
| we have seen in our 25-year history," said Bud Pidgeon, U.S. Sportsmen's
| Alliance Foundation president. "To besmirch the reputation of sportsmen
by
| linking us to felons is unconscionable. Sportsmen are America's
greatest
| conservationists, paying literally billions each year to fund fish and
| wildlife programs across the country."
|
|
|
| It is illegal in New Jersey for any convicted felon to possess or
purchase a
| weapon, Pidgeon said. Criminal background checks would unnecessarily
delay
| the issuance of a sporting license. The lawsuit even asks that fishing
| license purchases require background checks.
|
|
|
| The U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance Foundation protects and defends America's
| wildlife conservation programs and the pursuits - hunting, fishing and
| trapping - that generate the money to pay for them. The U.S.
Sportsmen's
| Alliance Foundation is responsible for public education, legal defense
and
| research. Its mission is accomplished through several distinct programs
| coordinated to provide the most complete defense capability possible.
For
| more information about the U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance Foundation and its
| work, call (614) 888-4868 or visit its website, www.ussportsmen.org.
