That's right; firearms and families are utterly incompatible even though one half of all housholds in the US has one or more firearms. This noise comes up every time. Curiously too, it wasn't a "family safety" issue until Reagan nixed them in 80's which apparently had no effect on poaching since then, either. Lessee, how many gun injuries since reinstated...none? And, of course, only government employees could need a gun for protection. Parks are safe enough for us but not them.

Well, for self defense you could argue that scopes could be unethical... I have not heard of a self defense purpose necessary to shoot over 100 yards.

The bill was passed and signed into law by Obama; he did not support the law. From MSNBC: "Democrats lawmakers and aides said they didn’t have enough time to send the bill to the House-Senate conference committee — where the gun provision could have been removed without a vote — and still get the bill to Obama by the Memorial Day weekend as he requested."

No matter how it happened, it's another feather in freedoms hat. It won't increase poaching I can assure you. It was their only argument.

@JamCamp06 2 of 2 are you angry and want to beat me up?!?!?!?! Did I evoke some violent streak that was hidden by your farce of a pacifistic lifestyle. I will keep my gun bedside just for phonies like you. Oh..... and by the way my lifestyle gets me laid quite easily and my women all have their teeth and are under 30. So in short don't transfer your homosexual oral fetish on me- I voted yes on prop 8

@JamCamp06 You know jag off, I have yet to see anything you have posted that is indicative of any superior intelligence! I know your type, you get caught up in your little clique and never venture out your front door! You think you have a good handle on life but in essence you are a failure and need to invoke others in an attempt to degrade them in order to make yourself feel good. In that sense you insolvency truly shines through. And as far as my anonymous moniker goes ...

@nesbitt615 Call me all the names you want Nesbitt, it won't change your loser status in the game of life. Neither will that gun you need in order to feel good about yourself. Every word you write exudes low self-esteem. Let's see you make a video! Or do you have post your vitriol anonymously? Can you even get a hard on without sucking that gun?

@JamCamp06 What ever you say asshole! If you ever want to meet up just let me know. I'll leave the gun at home. It sounds like you want to fight. Keep playing your crappy music that they play at fairs and farmer's markets for background noise!!!!! Your a pathetic asshole loser democrat that is helping to destroy our country! I suppose you support illegal immigration, their rights, and gay marriage

@nesbitt615 So you take guns to the National Parks to protect yourself from other campers? Scared cowardly little person. You can't discuss intelligently so you attack. You are so afraid you have to have lethal firepower on your hip in places of peace. And who talked about bears? Earlier posters, not you. I guess you need a gun because you can't reason. Sad little animal.

Nothing is completely safe.
