Post #28 is relevant. Because there should be a distinction between POSSESSING FIREARMS, and HUNTING. Owning, Possessing, and Carrying firearms, is a RIGHT. However, The Government, and Private Property Owners, DO have the RIGHT to place SOME minimal restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms.
I hate that even though I'm a cop, many private properties do not allow cops to carry off-duty. I cannot go to most sporting events at big sports arenas, and I can't carry into some stores. (sometimes I forget.)
The Government has lost lawsuits restricting gun possession during archery seasons, and I feel it SHOULD LOSE a lawsuit about carrying in National Parks, ect. (Tf's purse is fine.) This is because keeping and bearing arms is a RIGHT, However, THE GOVERNMENT IS ALLOWED TO RESTRICT WHAT YOU DO IN CERTAIN AREAS. Like no hunting in National Parks, no rifle hunting during archery season, ect.
It's a cop-out, due to lack of money, that they have tried to restrict firearms possession instead of enforcing poaching laws and any other laws people break while carrying firearms.
Tfinal's post #28 is about HUNTING. The Government CAN regulate hunting, who hunts, where they hunt, what they hunt for, and make sure people have had a hunters safety course. It is NOT a part of gun control. It is trying to teach people hunting ethics, begining hunting techniques, woodsmanship, field game care, and yes, GUN SAFETY. Unlawful Government "gun control" is banning people ANYWHERE, from possessing guns in their own homes! It is NOT a reasonable restriction on our RIGHT to keep and bear arms.
