The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act was signed into law by the president at the end of September. It fixed something that seemed to have gone wrong when it was passed last year.
Part of the act required modest gun control measures across the country. It also seems to have stopped federal school funds from being used to buy bows, guns, and other things.
President Joe Biden’s U.S. Department of Education read the law’s words to mean that schools could not get money for extracurricular activities like archery, hunting, and other shooting sports. That kind of program is very popular in some school districts, and a big part of the activities is making sure kids are safe.
