Post probably should not have been to you, specifically. Should have been generically to everyone.
I agree. Since the new pres is from Tucson - why cant they have it here when the weather is nice in February?
I got a call from the NRA-ILA two nights ago.
I told the caller that I would give when the Tucson Rod and Gun club is reopened in Sabino Canyon.
It's been closed since '96. The NRA did jack shit to help the locals.
Dave Hardy the lawyer was helping when it looked like there might be a chance against the faceless bureacrats at the Forest Service and BLM.
Bush is no different than Clinton or any of the other RINOS on 2A issues.
What good is the right to own if there is no place to shoot?
"Bush is no different than Clinton or any of the other RINOS on 2A issues."
Sadly, you are right. That's why I'm concerned that Gonzales will get to the Supreme Court. If the Republicans expect to build on their successes they need to be more reponsive to their base and quit trying to cuddle up the the moderates and liberals.
I am now officially a one-issue voter, and that issue is the preservation of the right to keep and bear arms as stated in the Second Amendment.
Since I belong to a Rod and Gun club in one of the most 2nd-Amendment hostile areas of the country (San Francisco Bay Area), I'm sympathetic, so I had a look at the history of the Sabino Canyon dispute. The simple truth is that these days, your local range is only safe if you own the land you're on, which Tucson did not. In fact, as the court stated:
“This permit is accepted with the understanding that the land involved will eventually be needed for general public use. It is understood and agreed that if and when the lands herein described are needed for this higher form of use, the permit shall terminate…”
Of course, whether or not the public needed the land for something else is subjective, but that clause was a ticking time bomb that somebody should have de-fused over four decades.
