Somewhere on here I stated before that any of us who align ourselves with these enviros who could care less what thier agenda would do to the local areas thier desk dwelling ideas affect....... will be in for a big surprise when thier allies let the cat out of the bag that they are also anti hunting and anti gun. See what happens when they need you no more.



 Ready for some concrete evidence?   I am signed up to get enemy (anti access) alerts...and along came this

Dear Jim,

Loaded weapons in our National Parks?

It's already passed in the Senate.

Your action is needed today to keep our parks safe.

This week, the U.S. House of Representatives may vote on a bill of great concern to those who cherish our national parks and the wildlife they host.

Believe it or not, we're talking about the Credit Cardholders' Bill of Rights Act. What does credit reform have to do with national parks? Nothing. Yet, astonishingly, Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., has attached a rider to the bill that would allow individuals to carry loaded weapons in national parks. Take action now.

If the bill passes with the rider attached, anyone would be allowed to carry loaded weapons – including semi-automatics – in our national parks.

Can you imagine the implications for wildlife poaching and visitor safety?

Not only is this a dangerous idea but it makes no sense attaching it to a bill that seeks to help Americans in difficult times.

This bill passed the Senate last week. It's now up to us to stop the rider – take action now.

The gun effort has been widely opposed by park rangers and seven former directors of the Park Service who say it would increase the risk of poaching and vandalism of historic resources and put visitors at risk.

Please tell your Representative to stop this ill-conceived idea and to keep our beloved parks free of loaded weapons.

Sincerely,

Kathy Kilmer

No one is asking for a hunting season in the parks  Dunno

This is just a restriction of your right to protect yourself.

Wilderness-Parks-National Forest are all controlled by federal laws, I suggest that everyone support the 2nd ammendment in all these places or be prepared for expansion of restrictions. Dunno

Saying that this law is going to cause an explosion in poaching cases is a gross over exaggeration. And why not? It plays right into people's hands who hate hunters and gun owners. No facts necessary...

What it would do is make the laws sensible. I am betting that many people carried in the parks anyway. Why not let them do it legally. That's not a question as much as it is a statement.

Since this was signed into law there is not much for squabbling over at the moment.

To clarify - from what I can tell Elkaholic is quoting an email he received from the same sort of groups who want to push the legislation to create the other wilderness areas in this topic http://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,26028.0.html

Your right it is already signed into law, I just saw it in the news, glad that happened, but actually I am quite surprised the prez signed it.

Obama signed it because it was attached to the credit reform bill. He was in a hurry to pass that and figured that it would be most pratical to get that behind him. I think he was willing to accept something like this attached to it for expediency.
