Where have you been? They did that over two hundred years ago. At the time it was referred to as the "second amendment".
No matter what you say you can’t convince Liberals that legally carried firearms are not a threat to the public. They are only a threat to the bad guys.
No, Di, decades of experience show that it is unnecessary. They're not stacking the bodies in the state parks where carry is allowed. These laws are a phony solution to a phony problem.
The number of such laws - the "assault weapons" ban is another - that date from the Reagan administration hearken back to a time when it was still felt that compromise with gun control zealots was possible. "Gun control we can live with" is the slogan I recall from a very brief period between the time when the AWB was introduced and the moment when the Clinton gang decided to demagogue it into a "stand up to the NRA" charade. The upshot wasn't "living with" anything, it was a succession of increasingly hysterical campaigns for more draconian solutions to the "problem" that were aimed at the people who weren't causing it.
Di-Fi has since given up her own concealed weapons permit, or so she states. It is revealing that she had one in the first place given how very difficult they are to obtain in California. Let her give up her armed bodyguards as well and live like the rest of us and maybe we can talk about when and where it's good to be armed.
Says the good Senator:
“It would create an incoherent, ineffective, and inconsistent patchwork of policies – across the country, and in some places within the same national parks.”
As opposed to what we have now?? LOL.
As a matter of fact the VCDL is actually the one that got the ball rolling with our petition to the DOI.
Where are the “Bravo Sierra!” and “Barf!!” alerts...?
Well, hopefully Nevada until Ca wakes up. Beware of any politician that doesn't think free people have a right to defend themselves.
GEEEEEZZ Diane- There are GPS units that will tell you if you are in Nevada or Kalifornia when you are in “Death Valley Park”. This park was created by you and Alan Cranston. It never was needed. It was all a sham. Why? Because there has been almost no money spent in policing the park, and it is huge and remote. Therefore, visitors should be able to carry weapons. Remember- Charlie Manson lived in Death Valley for years. They are still looking for bodies where he was at the Barker Ranch.
Tempting-— but just what Los Angeles mayor wants. He was the student activist leader of La Raza when he was at UCLA.
They are good at collecting money at the gate.
“What does the federal government do to make a national park “work well”?”
Very little. Which is why we think it works better than say other programs where they spend more $$ and work harder ?
I dunno just a guess.

so she can have a CCW and pack in a park but no one else can in a park, ,, how elite of her.
