Obama Pushing Shooters Off Public Lands

This is how the communist community organizer, begins the process of disarming the populace. If the sound of gun fire panics you move back to the city, oh there is gun fire there as well, the difference is simple responsible recreational shooters versus gang bangers. The public lands belongs to all not just the small anti firearm minority and your local liberals. The founders created the second amendment to counter this type of over reach by government. I know this current administration has no use for the Constitution or bill of rights,

the next one must respect our rights. Remember elections have consequences!

Well, heck, let's ban electric cars on public lands, because I freak out when I suddenly see some city person comes barreling down a road in their electric car and I can't hear them coming because they run so quietly. Let's ban hikers on public lands because they crush plants and that hurts more plants than a few bullets which are generally aimed at dirt for target practice. Let's ban boats on public waters because they scare the fish. Let's ban all humans from public lands due to any damage they might do and because meeting another human on public land could cause the other human to freak out. However, by all means, let's NOT ban OWS protestors from taking over private or public property, because even if other people freak out when they defecate on that property, or rape women, they support the Democratic party, so they should be allowed to do anything. Obama....hands off our gun rights!!!

This country is about to fall off a very high cliff into a totalitarian bowl of poo-poo! Grab your bonnet!

I'll consider this the day that the Obama Administration does something about the encroachment of the Mexican drug cartels into the public lands in the southern states. There are literally state parks that we're advised not to enter. THAT is a real threat to the public.

Btw, I'm not a hunter and not into gun sports. I just see the massive disconnect and shake my head. The government is rearranging the deck chairs while the Titanic is sinking. It's ridiculous.

American urbanites (I am one) have become feminized sissies (I am not one.) I grew up, in a rural area, in a family that did a lot of shooting and I learned how to use guns. The effete urbanites who don't understand anything about them should get some education about weapons, not force others to stop a form of recreation. It doe snot surprise me that the ultra left Obama administration sides with the aforementioned urbanites.

Without directly dismantling the 2nd Amendment, The BHO Admin. is turning firearm ownership (and legitimate uses) into a gauntlet. They're creating so many booby-trap regulations and restrictions that only criminals will find gun ownership worthwhile. No matter how much regulations there are, however, criminals will still have firearms and the rest of us will not be able to defend ourselves due to lack of practice and our firearms clogged with dust because there is no longer anywhere to shoot!

Once again another attempt for gun restriction by way of the backdoor.

All guns should be banned. Period. It's amazing that here in the 21st century, people are still advocating the ownership of weapons.

Wait - so because 'urbanites' freak out that's reason enough to infringe on the rights of others. Typical social justice from this moron administration.

Do these clowns understand anything about this country? They certainly have no respect for it, our history or middle America!

By denying us our rights to use our public lands for shooting and hunting is an infringement on our Constitutional rights of basic freedoms. This is gun control and must be stopped. I propose congress add restrictions on freedom of speech to any and all bills that have any gun control or gun restrictions written in them. This way the bills would never pass.
