The Biden administration’s decision to cut funding for hunter education and archery programs in schools has drawn harsh criticism over its possible impact on future generations.

“They are folks who are going to do anything to infringe on the rights of the next generation. They want to eliminate these programs so the future generations will not be aware the opportunities exist in the first place,” Mark Oliva, managing director for public affairs of the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), the trade association for the firearms industry, told the Epoch Times.
