Even an anti-gun park ranger shows more rationality than the AP in this story.

[SampleMan]

It has been legal for people to take loaded firearms into Mount Rainier since 2010, when a federal law went into effect that made possession of firearms in national parks subject to state gun laws.

Let's see, what was the penalty for bringing in a gun before 2010 compared to the current penalty for murder?

This is the same rationale that would state that increasing the speed limit from 15 to 20 mph led to a person driving into a playground and running down a kindergarten class...

Not to mention that there were plenty of armed robberies, rapes, and murders in the national parks before 2010.

Gee if only it had been illegal to take a gun into the park, surely this insane mass murderer would not have done so thus preventing the murder of the Park Ranger.........
And we like unicorns also...............
