From VA Alert:
Ladies and Gentlemen,
After two long years of waiting for the Department of the Interior
(DOI) to rule on VCDL's Petition for Rule Making that would allow
law-abiding gun owners to be able to carry in National Parks, we have
finally gotten a formal response:
"No."
You would swear that the rejection letter sent to VCDL was authored
by Sarah Brady herself.
The reasons for the rejection? (Caution - duct taping your head
highly recommended):
* Parks are safe places [unless, of course, you are attacked by a
criminal. I guess DOI doesn't read their own morning reports. VCDL
has found plenty of stories of criminal attacks in National Parks
covered in the media - PVC]
* "Right to carry" laws do not reduce crime [if they do or don't is
NOT relevant - they let decent people protect themselves - that is
their purpose and our Constitutional right! Unfortunately, I'll bet
if you sent a letter to DOI and mentioned "Constitution," they would
have to get their dictionaries out to see what the word means - PVC]
* Firearms already may be transported in a vehicle through any park
area [Oh, thank you most powerful bureaucrats! We peons are most
grateful for being allowed to transport totally inoperable firearms
locked out of reach so as to protect the King's deer! Yes, let us
eat cake! - PVC]
* "Right to carry" laws do not protect visitors from wildlife [Huh?
The Petition was about protection from TWO-legged predators! And
people in Alaska who can carry in National Parks would greatly
disagree with that statement anyhow - PVC]
So there you have it. Bureaucrats at their best. Treating the
citizens of this great country like we are a bunch of dumb children
who don't know what is good for ourselves.
These people disgust me.
And the President, who could fix this little problem pretty much
effortlessly, is Missing In Action....
