National Parks Gun Ban Unconstitutional

[TallPine]

carrying in National Parks should be applauded; so long as the
person holds a valid CCW license from his/her state of residence

Well, in my state I don't need no steenking ccw license outside of city limits

im all for states rights... but only in cases where the people and the federal government arent already specifically mentioned...

I suggest you go and read the Tenth Amendment.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

I don't know what you mean, mekender. You do realize we are talking about a federal rule, not a state law, don't you? Texas has no ability to make it "legal" to carry in a National Park. The federal agency made this rule, and did not ask Texas. Texas is not restricting the Second Amendment in this case, the Park Service is.

and this new law wants to give the rules in the parks over to the states... which i am against...

I suggest you go and read the Tenth Amendment.

been there, and that was my point... the 2nd amendment is quite clear... the right to keep and bear arms is reserved to the PEOPLE by the second amendment... so this idea that this new law is a win because we are sacrificing the federal master for the state one is a farce...

everyone thinks that its a win for the pro gun groups if this passes... but its only changing how the rights are restricted, not removing the restriction...

and to me, the 10th amendment does not apply in any way to the second amendment... you know the whole "shall not be infringed" part...

to me, all of the BS that we in the gun community constantly think is a winning thing is just a load of crap... its just a whittling away of all of the infringements that have been allowed to happen in the past hundred years...

all this nonsense about how we like this law or how this one is bad is exactly that... nonsense... its all window dressing... we have let law after law whittle away our god given and constitutionally affirmed rights to the point where we get excited when we win parts of em back... all the while what we should be doing is DEMANDING all of them back.

When I saw this article yesterday I called a friend with a print shop. If Patterson is ok with it, I'm going to print up some bumper stickers applauding our Land Commissioner for taking a stand.

You can Never have too much garlic or too much ammo!

I agree with the second part.
And go for those bumper stickers for Mr.Patterson.He's a champion.
