Did I Read This Right

[goodnigh]

Just saw a Foxnews tag line about the WH banning shooting on all public lands.

Is this true?

This article seems to provide some "insight" on the situation.

Thats scary...Typical goverment politics too....Keep pulling the noose till there no more guns in the hands of legal owners ...and only the criminals will have them.....I love how they point out that more people get hurt on ATV's than shooters hurting them selves.....I bet money more people get hurt on BLM land just hiking on it than the shooters....Heck i been shooting around here for years...And no one ever got hurt{doesnt mean it cant happen} but if it did..it would be all over the news from coast to coast....But i have heard of a few kids killing them selves on ATV's here in my area...<~~That never makes it on the news ..hardly a mention of it in local news paper....Let alone coast to coast.....I find it odd that some deaths are not as importaint..Just cause of some agenda to take things away from good legal safe folks {shakes head} Are constitution is a joke to them

So the WH is basically laughing in the the face of the recent Supreme Court ruling establishing our Second Amendment rights

Looks like they backed down. Sounds like politics, anything to get a vote.

Yeah, I was reading that they backed off. Like you said Mike, anything to get a vote.

Either that or Wayne LaPierre called the WH.

Don, I would not say revolt. The overthrow of the government by force of arms is against the law. However, I do say the current state of our government is revolting. Chuck

The rant is afoot

This sort of thing only serves to remind me to send an extra check to the NRA.

Somehow because I own firearms makes me irresponsible or stupid or just

plain dangerous. The laws about shooting on open land in the West have been

on the books for a long time. Suddenly a family wants to buy property and

build a home next to where several generations of a family have long been

engaged in the shooting sports. So the shooters are now criminals.

What next? How about Eminent domain; "it may also be taken for reasons of public safety". This only applies to privately owned land, but you never know.

This Administration is actively involved in limiting our Second Amendment rights. The only good side I can see about this, the effort likely employs a lot

of people:s
