WASHINGTON, Mar 19, 2009 (UPI via COMTEX) -- A federal judge in Washington Thursday blocked enforcement of a Bush administration rule allowing people to carry loaded concealed weapons in national parks. The rule, filed toward the end of former President George W. Bush's second term, reversed a 25-year-old U.S. Department of the Interior policy requiring that guns be kept unloaded, dismantled or locked up in national parks, except in areas designated for hunting and target practice.

Can someone point me to the part in the 2nd Amendment where it says that the right stops at park borders?

One cannot “block enforcement” of a rule that restores constitutional rights.

Need to take this judge into one of the national parks where they have reintroduced the wolf and a few bears and tie a pork chop around his neck and dip him in honey and see how fast he wished he had a gun to protect himself.

Ruling Thursday in a suit brought in December, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly issued a preliminary injunction against enforcing the rule. Kollar-Kotelly agreed with the plaintiffs that the government's process in enacting the change was "astoundingly flawed," The Washington Post reported.

This judge is one of the biggest liberal activist judges around.

Let’s see. If I’m a rapist, where can I find vulnerable females to molest and assault. Oh, I know, camping in a tent with no protection whatsoever. Brilliant!

“One cannot “block enforcement” of a rule that restores constitutional rights.”

Had a hunch this would happen. Will be interesting to see if the NRA will take this to the Supreme’s.

Amazing how judges think they have more power than the President in making decisions. Judges have no authority to make such rulings. Judges such as this ideally would be impeached.

You can’t “block enforcement of a rule” that doesn’t exist. Bush rescinded the rule, he did not create it. So it’s logically and legally impossible for any judge to “block” anything: There’s nothing remaining to be blocked.

This is federal property and these restrictions sound a lot like the ones the Supreme Court pitched out in Washington DC last year.

Didn't Heller address that very issue, or do Liberal Federal judges simply get to ignore rulings they don't like?

K-K is just a tool for the left, but what type of journalist reports of an argument of constitutional rights to be "astoundingly flawed," without any other legal comments?

We need to keep our parks free of evil guns, so that serial killers like Gary Michael Hilton can kidnap, rape and murder women like Meredith Emerson without fear of being shot.
