BTW, the House Committee on Homeland Security is made up of 17 Republicans and 14 Democrats. You can lay the blame for this BS on the Republicans' doorstep.

What gets my goat is every time something happens to restrict or limit sportsmen, some people immediately jump to to the conclusion it MUST be the liberals and Democrats. Because the conservatives and Republicans would never, ever do anything that would hurt or limit sportsmen, right? Here is a piece of information you can take to the bank:
The. Republican. Party. Is. Not. The. Sportsman's. Friend.
Are there some Republicans that support outdoor recreation? Yes, there are. There are also those who think pollution is no big deal and any piece of property that is not actively being exploited and doesn't have a subdivision, clear cut, oil derrick or Wal-Mart on it is a waste of space.
There are also a lot of liberals who fish and hunt and Democrats who support sportsman's issues. Look at an individual's views, not the party they belong to. Stop lumping those of us who don't agree with the conservative/Republican platform into the anti-outdoorsman camp.
