"House Passes Bill Expanding Land Access For Hunters"

"The House on Friday passed legislation to expand public access to recreational shooting and hunting on federal lands.

The measure was approved by a 242-161 vote. Just 12 Democrats joined all but four Republicans in support of the legislation. The Democrats who voted for it were mostly members of the centrist Blue Dog Coalition.

The bill follows President Obama executive actions last month to expand background checks for gun purchases."
