Two Montana Senators Want Gun Rules Changed For National Parks
December 19, 2007
Could it be that there’s an election year coming? Could it be that some believe that the U.S. Supreme Court will rule in favor of an individual’s right to keep and bear arms? Why is it that it seems more politicians are working toward easing gun restrictions?
Max Baucus and Jon Tester, two democrat U.S. Senators from Montana, were among 47 other U.S. Senators who signed a letter that was sent to Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne asking that the current ban on guns in National Parks be lifted. Those promoting the lift say it is a matter of Second Amendment rights and all law abiding citizens should be able to carry. The opposition says easing restrictions will lead to more poaching and accidental shootings.
