Where in the 2nd Amendment did it specify a location?
Here’s a newsflash; criminals don’t care about rules against carrying guns on park lands or anywhere else.
There’a always a reason why our constitution is full of —— when you’re a leftist. Of course that’s until you want to advocate for the overthrow of the U.S. Government, and then it’s a sacred document handed down by saints.
Second Amendment, why those slave owning bastards!
Good for me, but not for thee! People like her should have this sort of "doublethink" hypocrisy thrown in their face all the time. And as a "daddy" type, I am so through listening to "mommy" types as a source of morality or wisdom.
See if they think they might need a weapon when our tent is surrounded by Javalina or a Mountain Lion.
If the park is so peaceful and tranquil, why the body armor, or for that matter, why the weapons?

Please tell me this reporter volunteers and does not get paid to write.
“But such crimes are rare, said park officials.”
Tell that to the murder victims. To them, the crime rate is 100% and they are forever dead. Maybe having a gun would not have helped them, but involuntary and unilateral disarmament of people is stupid and criminal.
“...47 U.S. senators asked Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne to revise existing laws to allow park visitor to carry firearms in the parks when allowed by state law.”
Why do 47 senators need to ask some federal fascist bureaucrat to change a law?
I guess our elected lawmakers don’t write law anymore. And where does it say in the constitution that unelected bureaucrats can write law? Guess that’s missing in my copy. Well, sieg heil, everyone, the fascist functionaries have taken over.

I’m not positive of the Statute of Limitations, and have no interest in spending any more time in court than I have to, but I recall an incident about a dozen years back where a certain campground was set upon by several drunk and armed good~old~boys.
I also recall how two brothers got the drop on them, disarmed them, tied them up, and then called the park rangers when they were a good 50 miles down the road. I don’t recall whatever became of the “happy campers” because I was, er, long gone by the time the rangers arrived.
I am amused when I encounter people who feeeeel that, because the law says you must do (or NOT do) something, that you must do (or not do) it.
Molan Labe!
Also there were those women killed in Yellowstone a few years ago, as well the mother and daughter killed up by Tiger Mountain here. Serial killers love forested areas. I would never go into the woods unarmed.
