Do you really need concealed carry in national parks?...

Anybody have any idea why the sale of marijuana is profitable enough to cause the Mexicans to plant it in our national parks?

[Dallas59]

The gov would come down on this if it were tobacco being grown..

[dilvish]

They finally noticed. I knew at least 3 guys (not Mexicans either) with “fields” in Saguaro National Monument when I was in high school, that was over 20 years ago. Wide open spaces with no traceable deed are a great place for illegal activity, you probably won’t be there when the cops find it, you don’t own it so they can’t bust you that way, and unless you’re a complete moron even if they catch you walking into it you’ve got lots of plausible deniability.

The War on Some Drugs has pushed Americans to outsource their drug production to armed criminal gangs, and this is just a predictable result. Wouldn’t you rather people buy pot in the same way they buy cigarettes, openly and with taxes down at the corner store? Wouldn’t you rather deal with a guy like Al Gore, bragging about how he grew tobacco, than with a violent gangster?

As things are, probably it will take the death of an innocent hiker to convince Washington to do what’s necessary and to do it soon.

With the incoming regime, it probably won't.

As an aside, it's interesting that the federal Drug War JBTs are AWOL on this as well. I guess they're too busy raiding the pot farms of white hillbillies in places like the hollers of Eastern Kentucky to have time to take on the wetbacks running them in California national parks.

I wondered why so many liberals were against the ban on concealed carry by those with concealed carry licenses in national park. Last summer it became a big deal when the NRA backed it and the liberals opposed it.

I guess the reason was they didn't want citizens to interfere with their drug supply.

"Unfortunately, the environmentalists who should be defending the parks don’t care that our natural heritage icons have been invaded and despoiled. The flagship green organization, the Sierra Club, has said that it has "other priorities." "

OK folks...there's your "dedicated environmentalists". It seems their love of the environment stops at the business end of an AK-47.

I cannot believe this is going on in our own National Parks by people who are probably illegal aliens, and the feds just sit there. However, If you're a legal American and decide you want to hang a confederate flag on your own property, they're all over you like stink on s---.

Unfortunately, the environmentalists who should be defending the parks don’t care that our natural heritage icons have been invaded and despoiled.

Of course not; they are leftists first and foremost. Environmentalist, gay rights activist, civil rights activist, etc., are just disguises worn by Marxists. Once they have won the struggle (and they may very well have won in this last election), the sheep's clothing will be discarded and the wolf will step out into the light.

The Sierra Club “has other priorities”.

yeah, like smokin’ the stuff.

Just doing the work Americans.......wait a minute.......

Wouldn’t THAT be fun!

[Conservative Vermont Vet]

Gee where are all those big, bad-ass, DEA Agents?

Oh, I know, the Gestapo thugs, are too busy kicking in doors in the middle of the night of innocent 90 year old grandmothers and gunning them down.

Probably pee their pants if they went up against any "real" bad guys.

Where else would you grow medical marijuana?

[NorseWood]

Sounds like we need some “weed” killer, or Agent Orange.

[aculeus]

Two words of advice to the government: Roundup, Helicopter.

[Mind-numbed Robot]

The Sierra Club was once a stalwart non-partisan defender of the planet and enemy of pollution....

Wrong! The Sierra Club, PETA, Greenpeace, etc., have always been Communist fronts! Their high-sounding purposes and slogans were always a lie. They care not about violence or the death of a hiker, they may even encourage it to scare people away.

Where is immigration and Homeland Security on this?

[microgood]

Just another “unintended consequence” of the Drug War.

Mexicans my a%s! I recently visited my good friend in northern california (near Point Arena)He took me on a hike through the forest for several miles. We hiked up a beautiful stream about every 100 yards or so there were dams built of rocks and plastic sheeting with 12 volt pumps and plastic pipe running into the redwoodtrees where the pot growers have hanging baskets for their plants.Old car battries were everywere all the sites we saw looked abandoned trash, old clothes, cans, unbelivable.Later when we went into town he started pointing out to me all the local hippie kids with brand new four wheel drive trucks.He says that the local economy is very dependent on pot sales.
