National Park Comment Period Extended

[Mtbkski]

Department of the Interior Extends Deadline for Comments Regarding Right-to-Carry in National Parks and Wildlife Refuges Until August 8


Rather than closing the proscribed comments period as scheduled and moving toward finalizing this federal regulation, U.S. Senator Daniel Akaka (D-Hawaii) and U.S. Representative Raul Grijalva (D-Arizona), succeeded in delaying the implementation of the final rule by bullying the Department of the Interior (their respective congressional subcommittees have oversight of national parks) to extend the deadline for comments an additional 30 days! In a letter to Secretary Kempthorne, Senator Akaka and Representative Grijalva asked that the public comment period be extended, citing the recent decision in the District of Columbia v. Heller.

The goal of their strategy is clear. Extending the public comment period amounts to a blatant and intentional stalling tactic; further pushing back resolution on this matter, possibly until after the election, into a new Administration. This needless extension will also allow opponents of carrying guns in national parks (like the Humane Society of the U.S. and the National Parks Conservation Association) to rally their troops to express their opposition to this commonsense proposal.

While we disagree with the decision to extend the comments period on this issue, it is now more important than ever that we give the anti-gunners what they profess to want-additional comments. Gun owners, Right-to-Carry permit holders, and all Second Amendment supporters must deluge the Department of the Interior with comments in support of this proposal! The new deadline for submitting comments is August 8, 2008.

Don't ever stop taking the time to do something that shows your support of your 2A rights. Even if it is a no brainer and you know it is going to pass. Take a moment and write to show your support.

The more of us that write in and respond, the more of a positive and strong image we portray to those in positions to make these laws in the first place. Maybe the next time they will stop and think before they should try and block handgun carry someplace else, remembering the strong turn out they got from us on this (Trivial?) matter.

You can be sure the ANTI's are trying to make a big show of it.

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO WRITE.
IT IS YOUR RIGHTS THAT YOUR SUPPORTING.
THIS SHOULD BE WORTH A FEW MINUTES OF YOUR TIME.

McCain, or whoever will be president, is not going to ever see it. It won't make it out of Congress.

It ain't happening, people. This is going to die in committee. All of the subcommittee save one has been given a grade of D or F by the NRA.

Did they close the commenting period? I already did it last week but I was going to send it to a friend of mine for him to fill out and the link no longer works.
