+10 to your post. That’s SOP for me.
“It’s all been shot,” he said. “It’s just destroying everything.”
It sounds a lot like my neighborhood in Oakland. I don’t know what “Backcountry” has to do with it. Dumb is everywhere!
Take away all the guns and install UN Agenda 21 and no one will be allowed in the back woods either.
Are these areas where BLM or equivalent have shut down designated shooting areas?
It's ALL been shot? It's destroying EVERYthing?
Hyperbole we much?
Funny how these patchouli scented rock huggers don't put sackcloth and ashes on their underarms when a beautiful young woman like Katie Steinle gets murdered by an illegal in broad daylight on a San Francisco pier.
A little perspective too much to aks?
1) I suspect that Acerson is some sort of urban leftist queer.
2) I suspect that he found one site where some idiot made a mess, and is acting like such messes are the norm.
Agreed. Whether shooting, hiking, camping, hunting, fishing, or otherwise, I was raised to leave no trace of my presence in the woods and to take my garbage with me.
Oh! An article about guns from the New York Times!
I bet it will be very balanced, impeccably accurate, and utterly rational!
I’m a brass scrounged. If I happened upon a site with lots of brass laying around I’d pick it up.
Spray painting everything in sight in the cities is called “artistic graffiti” by these bozos and they think it should be loved and admired for its “artistic brilliance”. This is just “backcountry” artistic graffiti. This whining hoser needs to stop the whining and learn to deal with it and love it. Pelosi told us that we should all quit our jobs and learn to paint, write poetry or play the guitar. That’s what we did. Deal with it hippies!
The NYT is opening up a new front against guns, and it overlaps with the radical environmentalists desire to prohibit the common man from living in, or even visiting “nature”, which they believe should be reserved for the elites.
Think Agenda 21.
The eco-freaks become enraged at the very idea of ordinary people enjoying nature in any way. They always emphasize that ordinary people are destructive and filthy creatures who destroy nature and leave garbage lying about. Unlike them, who find inspiration in nature to write bad poetry, while little creatures frolic about them like Snow White.
It’s about the irresponsible behavior, choice of targets, and not cleaning up after themselves.
Its NOT about guns.
“Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints.”
Great advice if you’re in the woods. Creepy advice if you’re in a stranger’s house at 3am...
Exactly right.
I'm not an anti-gun nut-burger by any stretch of imagination, just the opposite in fact. I own guns for both self/home defense and recreational use, and I have a concealed carry permit. I currently own and use 7 long guns and 6 handguns of various types and chamberings.
Most, if not all, of the damage to both public and private property that I find almost everywhere in this area, and most of the areas where I travel, is not only illegal it's costing us the much needed political support of millions of voters who don't own guns, and in fact don't have a clue as to what the 2nd Amendment is all about.
The 2nd A was put there to protect private possession of firearms for all lawful purposes, but not to protect irresponsible uses that harm property, endanger other people, and almost guarantee that government will eventually find a way to deprive law abiding gun owners of our 2nd A rights.
I don't know the answer to the problem, but you can be sure that billionaire anti-gunners such as Bloomberg, Gates, Soros, Buffet, etc, etc, think they have the answer and will continue to push their anti-gun agenda with vast wealth and political influence that all the pro-2nd A orgs combined can't match.
Thanks for policing your trash. Unfortunately there is a culture in this country that have no interest in cleaning up after themselves and it can be found in rural USA, inner city, suburbia, and everywhere else.
Readers should follow the link. The article is about New York politics in Colorado, BLM land and more.
Meanwhile, socialist voters on once-conservative discussion boards are trying their hardest to bring New York politics to every state.
I do sympathize with your message about idiots, too, though. Where I live, it’s those few people high on pot and booze firing or ricocheting 7.62x39 (AK) rounds into or around neighboring private homes. The rounds can be heard buzzing over homes and landing near residents out walking on their lots.
The police won’t use the state statutes already available to cite the antagonists. They mock callers. They, being socialists, push instead for an ordnance or law to stop firearms discharges on all private properties in the county, including developments with large lots. They want everyone with firearms to show themselves with their firearms on a commercial range for local gossip regime inspections and increased socialist revenues.
The police already have laws to work with, but they don’t want to use them. They’d rather push for legislation to be the sole owners and bearers of firearms.
