Harriet Hageman, who is running for Senate. The son of the late conservative businessman Foster Friess discussed the federal legislation he would support to protect the Second Amendment and push back on restrictive gun bans. <strong>(RELATED: Why Son Of Conservative Megadonor Is Running For Congress In Wyoming)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Friess said that one such law he would support is \u201crequiring all for manufacturers of pistols and rifles providing threads so that we can put suppressors on all of our guns.\u201d He stressed that suppressors, which decrease the noise of gunshots, are necessary for protecting gun owners\u2019 ears.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/rumble.com\/embed\/v79aykg\/?pub=3rtroj\" width=\"640\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/10519169\/dailycaller_incontent_2 --> <\/p>\n<p>Left-wing lawmakers have recently sought to restrict the firearm accessory, also called \u201csilencers.\u201d Democratic New Jersey Rep.

This is just to protect our ears.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The candidate also stated that suppressors serve a practical use in hunting, which is ubiquitous in Wyoming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019re out stalking some elk with a couple friends, you want to go with guys that have got suppressors.

This was a real issue across Wyoming, in many communities,\u201d he told the DCNF. \u201cWhat the Biden EPA [Environmental Protection Agency] did was that they had control and authority over navigable waterways.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut they [the Biden-era EPA] redefined what a navigable waterway was. And it could include a seasonal pond on your land. And if you wanted to smooth out a field so you could grow more, if you didn\u2019t have the right permits \u2026 they could come in with thousands of dollars of fines a day,\u201d Freiss explained.<\/p>\n<p>He also raised concerns that there may have been \u201cselective enforcement\u201d of the rule.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wonder how are they choosing the people to go after. Because they define this rule so broadly that it allowed them to insert themselves and come in. Just punitive fines that were very hard to unwind,\u201d Friess told the DCNF.<\/p>\n<p>Friess\u2019 campaign website states that WOTUS \u201cthreatened to give the federal government jurisdiction over every mud puddle on a rancher\u2019s property.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Wyoming Republican also shared that even before President Donald Trump was nominated, he had \u201crecruited some very smart conservative lawyers in D.C. who had served in past administrations and really knew the agencies inside and out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey identified a legal fix for this. It was temporary. There\u2019s still work to do on the WOTUS issue,\u201d he stated. \u201cBut President Trump was provided a document he could sign, which gave immediate relief to folks that were undergoing WOTUS issues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All content created by the Daily Caller News Foundation, an independent and nonpartisan newswire service, is available without charge to any legitimate news publisher that can provide a large audience.
