Cool NRA Seeks to End Some Hunting Closures

NRA Seeks to End Some Hunting Closures
By Associated Press
June 23, 2004, 11:12 AM EDT
SPOKANE, Wash. --
The National Rifle Association will lobby for laws that would make it easier to hunt on public lands, the head of the group said.

"The decline in hunting is going to kill us," NRA president Kayne Robinson said Tuesday.

The "Free Hunter" campaign will push for laws that would streamline hunting regulations and make it more difficult to close public lands to motor vehicles, Robinson said. It will also seek constitutional amendments to make it harder to restrict hunting through citizen initiatives.

"A hunter shouldn't feel like he just left an IRS audit," Robinson said, speaking to a conference of outdoor writers and at a news conference.

"If fancy hunters don't like that, if they don't like the guy from the Texaco station hunting, too, I'm sorry," he said, "but we're going to represent his interest."

At least half of the NRA's 4 million members are hunters, making it the largest hunting organization in the country, Robinson said.

Actually most are not. They are UN biospheres or included in Agenda 21 /Border 21. We pay dues to the UN then fees for our parks LOL What a joke. This land
is no longer ours due to our ignorance stupidity Gradualism works very well The Hagelian Dialectic does to We are a nation of SHEEP! I'll stop my rant now. I use to do it 24 hours a week on shortwave and satellite radio... I quit preaching to the choir long ago. I stayed angry too long.
