The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence has sued the Interior Department to stop it from eliminating a 25-year-old federal rule restricting loaded guns in national parks.

WASHINGTON -- An anti-gun group is suing to stop a last-second Bush administration change that would allow Americans to carry concealed, loaded guns in most national parks and wildlife refuges.

The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence sued the Interior Department in federal court on Tuesday.

They want a federal judge to stop the elimination of a 25-year-old federal rule severely restricting loaded guns in national parks...

It’s easier to target us since most of us follow the law.

All in all, it demonstrates CHL holders are mostly well-behaved.

Don’t think for a second that if there was no 2nd amendment that Obama and his merry men and women would not be devising ways and means to confiscate weapons from law-abiding citizens to reduce opposition. Remember Obama’s main goal is to destroy the opposition. Raise your hands if you believe I am full of s**t.

Looks like this is the new way to do things in America. If you don’t get your way, file a lawsuit.

I’d be all for hanging those that would attempt to undermine our constitution at this point. They are simple traitors, and should be treated as such. We will be facing enough problems this coming year without having to tolerate this crap

I hope one or more of them goes for a nature hike and gets eaten by a Griz.....

Is your concealed carry firearm capable of dealing with a grizzly? I don't think my little S&W 640 with 5 rds of .357mag is going stop a grizzly. I own stuff big enough to do the job, but no ranger is going to believe I actually carry something that big as a daily CCW rig.

Dude, in their warped minds anyone that possesses one of these inanimate objects is a criminal.

... and it is easier and safer to go after the otherwise law abiding inanimate object possessors.

Exactly. Why haven’t they used their JBTs to clean up illegal weapons in LA, South Chicago, or any other high violence area?

Why? Because the armed criminal populace is historically an implicit auxiliary of revolutionary movements. The “useful idiots” a la Brady run interference for the unholy coalition of leftists and criminals. Besides, who wants to disarm a heavily armed gang — its dangerous. Better to take on a hiker worried about a bear.

They watched that movie “Friday” to many times...

BTW, I wonder what Federal Court they filed the lawsuit in???

Nobody seems to know, but I’ll venture a guess...

The 9th district???

I know, it was more a rheotorical question. The big picture is about power and removing opposition to that power.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but according to federal law you can carry
a firearm if you're a licensed fisherman going to, or coming from
where you plan to fish. It's the law I use to trump California's restrictions
on firearms. We also have a gold claim though, so that's a double trump.

Nice Marx quote. It’s like the Islamic division into the House of Islam (Dar al-Islam) and the House of War (Dar al-Harb). Peace is the absence of opposition to Islam.
