NRA wants to shoot things in National Parks

One of the things I miss most, living in China, are America's wonderful National Parks. China has parks but they are more tourist attraction than pristine wilderness. People with access to quiet, natural wilderness need to appreciate it - because much of the world doesn't have this.

Unfortunately, a US senator and the National Rifle Association (NRA) have teemed up to try to open America's National Parks to sportshunting. Sure, it's beyond asinine to open National Parks to hunting but wouldn't you know that it was Senator Goober of Peavine that introduced this crazy idea? It's not enough that hunters have loads of private land, state parks, and Public Land Management land to hunt on. They also want to be able to tackle the last retreat Americans have from guns - the National Parks. If the NRA is successful in opening National Parks to hunting families that want to get away for awhile will no longer be safe.

If you think this is a really stupid idea go to this site and send a message to the Administration.
