161. The real truth is,
we haven't tried that yet, thats what this new legislation is.

They want to change the law to loaded and un-stored fire arms FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!!!!!

So one last time I'll explain it to you.

When the National Parks and the National Parks Service were first established around 1917, it was TOTALLY ILLEGAL to carry a firearm OF ANY KIND into a National Park.
You had to SURRENDER ALL FIREARMS AT THE GATE!!! There was a TOTAL ban on firearms.

GET IT!

In 1983 they changed the law, eliminating the total ban, and now you can carry your firearms with you into the park. No declaring them, no permit, nothing!

You presented an article with data and were mistaken in believing that the TOTAL ban still in force. You proclaimed that crime had gone down because no guns were not allowed in parks.

The facts were then presented to you, and the data you presented in your article demonstrates that allowing firearms into the parks DECREASED crime.

Attempting to claim that you were saying anything else is nothing short of a bald faced LIE, any fool can read your posts starting from the beginning, and see howe you changed your tune as soon as you were called out.
