Brady Campaign may abort self-defense in National Parks
January 4, 2009 | Tagged anti-gun Obama, Brady Campaign, Concealed Carry, self-defense in national parks | 2 Comments
Just when you thought it would be safe to go into a national park with a licensed concealed weapon, the Brady Campaign has filed suit in federal court to block the rule change. (Keep in mind that the Brady Campaign endorsed Barack Hussein Obama for President and is no doubt looking forward to being “ruled” by “The Chosen One.”)
According to the Brady Campaign, the new regulation was to go into effect on January 9th, allowing almost two weeks of unbridled carnage in the national parks, before the incoming administration kills the rule change forever. My previous post on the subject was apparently incorrect in that the new regulations have not yet, and probably will never take effect. (See the post, “Look for five weeks of legal concealed carry in national parks,” under the Category “Concealed Carry.”)
I had previously predicted that there would be five weeks of concealed carry before “The Chosen One” and his minions again infringed on the natural, fundamental rights of American Citizens to armed self-defense against crime and tyranny.
According to the Brady press release referenced above, concerned school teachers were “canceling or curtailing school trips,” to national parks, because of rampant hoplophobia, i.e. the fear of legally armed citizens in those areas. If the Brady Campaign and its supporters were not incredibly well-funded and as serious as a heart attack about disarming American Citizens, their actions would be simply unbelievable to the point of absurdity, in my humble opinion.
Please see my posts under the Category “Psychology” to gain additional information about how seemingly rational people can come to believe that disarming honest citizens reduces crime. The Brady press release refers to “numerous studies” that purport to show that concealed carry increases crime. Naturally, they fail to cite any such “studies.”
“The Chosen One” has promised everything to everybody. I think some people are going to be disappointed. Hopefully the Brady Campaign and its supporters will be among the crestfallen.

There is nothing to keep anyone from taking a fully functional firearm into a national park. There are no metal detectors and darned few park rangers generally speaking. So criminals were expected to just obey the rule. If they don’t, I suppose that there could be another rule requiring that they obey the first rule.
I think it’s about time that we stop paying attention to rules and laws and other decrees by so called “dogooders” and carry openly or concealed anywhere we wish, just as the second amendment intended.
