Obama administration pushes to limit gun use on pubic lands
Under the radar: The Obama administration is pushing to limit gun use on pubic lands.
Gun owners who have historically been able to use public lands for target practice would be barred from potentially millions of acres under new rules drafted by the Interior Department, the first major move by the Obama administration to impose limits on firearms.

This would suck , my favorite place to shoot is in National Forest land in the mountains outside of Denver.
Would those pubic lands include the pubic mounds of Venus? I trust cameras will still be allowed…
I, too, use National Forest land for shooting. If the rulings become law, then I would paraphrase Andrew Jackson: “They have ruled, now let them enforce.”
