Department of the Interior Extends Deadline for Comments Regarding
Right-to-Carry in National Parks and Wildlife Refuges Until August 8
Like a quarterback taking a knee in the fourth quarter, two of Congress's
most ardent opponents of our Right to Keep and Bear Arms are trying to run
out the clock on efforts to enhance your right to self-defense in our
national parks and wildlife refuges.
For two months, we have been asking NRA members and gun owners to submit
comments in support of allowing law-abiding citizens to carry their
legally-owned firearms in national parks and wildlife refuges -- and tens of
thousand of you have done so. The deadline to submit comments expired on
June 30 -- or so we thought.
Rather than closing the proscribed comments period as scheduled and moving
toward finalizing this federal regulation, U.S. Senator Daniel Akaka
(D-Hawaii) and U.S. Representative Raul Grijalva (D-Arizona), succeeded in
delaying the implementation of the final rule by bullying the Department of
the Interior (their respective congressional subcommittees have oversight of
national parks) to extend the deadline for comments an additional 30 days!
In a letter to Secretary Kempthorne, Senator Akaka and Representative
Grijalva asked that the public comment period be extended, citing the recent
decision in the District of Columbia v. Heller.
In truth, however, now that the Supreme Court has affirmed that the Second
Amendment guarantees an individual right, it is more important than ever
that we move toward final resolution on this matter and extend the most
basic right of self-defense to law-abiding citizens visiting national parks
and refuges.
The goal of their strategy is clear. Extending the public comment period
amounts to a blatant and intentional stalling tactic; further pushing back
resolution on this matter, possibly until after the election, into a new
Administration. This needless extension will also allow opponents of
carrying guns in national parks (like the Humane Society of the U.S. and the
National Parks Conservation Association) to rally their troops to express
their opposition to this commonsense proposal.
While we disagree with the decision to extend the comments period on this
issue, it is now more important than ever that we give the anti-gunners what
they profess to want-additional comments. Gun owners, Right-to-Carry permit
holders, and all Second Amendment supporters must deluge the Department of
the Interior with comments in support of this proposal! The new deadline
for submitting comments is August 8, 2008.
Please submit your comments on-line at:

I did that too.
I also added that I did not appreciate their obvious stalling tactics.
Then I wrote my Congressperson.
