Voted. 1/3 of the voters

actually think it is a bad idea. Let's give them 1/3 of the parks, with NO guns, then we can enjoy ourselves safely in the others, along with the folks who don't personally want to carry a gun, but don't go around telling us we can't. To hell with the others.

I used GOA to SUPPORT THIS amendment.

I love it when the enemy alerts me to their sinister plans, allowing me to champion against it.

Dear John,

A proposal facing action by the U.S. Senate would force National Park and National Wildlife Refuge managers to allow more loaded, hidden handguns in America's National Parks and Wildlife Refuges, endangering the public as well as wildlife.

Why are we putting hikers, campers, and families at risk by introducing loaded, hidden handguns into our National Parks? This proposal is a bad idea that the Senate should reject.

PLEASE CALL YOUR U.S. SENATORS TODAY!
Tell Them "More Guns in National Parks Puts Visitors at Risk: Oppose the Coburn Amendment to S. 2483"
Sen. Elizabeth Dole - (202) 224-6342
Sen. Richard Burr - (202) 224-3154

Under current federal law, firearm possession and transportation in our National Parks is carefully regulated. But Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, an ally of the gun lobby, plans on offering an amendment to a broader bill on public lands issues that would weaken the reasonable gun restrictions on federal lands adopted in 1982 by the Reagan Administration.

Given the heightened security risks in the post-9/11 world, as well as contemporary concerns about poaching on federal lands, we find the Reagan Administration regulation to be both necessary and appropriate.

Tell your Senators to stand with the Association of National Park Rangers, the Coalition of National Park Service Retirees, and the U.S. Park Ranger Lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police, who recently stated: "Senator Coburnâ€™s amendment will make poaching in parks even more prevalent than it already is, thus reducing the opportunity for children, families, and Americans from all walks of life to easily view wildlife that so many parks provide."

Don't allow Senator Coburn to change federal law to expand the carrying of loaded guns in our National Parks!

Here's What You Can Do Today:

1. CALL YOUR U.S. SENATORS.
Tell them to OPPOSE the Coburn Amendment to S. 2483: We don't want more people carrying loaded, hidden guns

Done! I worked for 3 seasons in Sequoia National Park and always found NPS's policy on firearms to be downright stupid. Easiest place in the world to victimize someone....in the middle of nowhere and unarmed

Thanks for the heads up.
