******Similarly, I think it’s perfectly reasonable for hikers to pay for maintenance of lands they are using and which were previously subsidized exclusively by hunters and fisherman. Whether or not those collecting the fees use the money for its intended purpose doesn’t void the principle that it’s wrong for some people to have full free use of what others are, and have been paying to use.*****
The fundamental problem with your thinking is that you forget that there is no oversite of the state, who can run guns on people with impunity.
PRIVATIZE and have the state oversee is how this country was FOUNDED!
One more thing to illustrate my point.
FDR put the last Buffalo hunter in jail for trying to kill the last Buffalo in a state park. This was an inevitability once the state took over.
The state does not see that it can manage resources, it only wants to control them. In private hands, there would have been an abundance of Buffalo because the value would have been cared for.
