Federal Government To Lift Restrictions On Guns In National Parks
Congress will lift restrictions on guns in national
parks. Visitors will now be able to carry concealed and loaded guns into the
parks, The Obama administration declined to appeal the ruling, and the law
passed without comment as part of a credit card reform package!!!!!!
Bill Wade, President of the Coalition of National Park
Service Retirees, said that “…the new law will erase the park system’s
reputation as a place of solitude and safety.” Scot McElveen, President of
the Association of National Park Rangers, said, “… readily accessible
firearms in parks is one that will lead to lessened preservation of park
resources.”
Critics are also concerned about an increase in illegal
hunting. McElveen further said, “…there’s also a group …that can be tempted
by opportunity when they think that no one’s around and no one will find
out.”
