No way should we allow hunting in the national parks. The parks were set up by Teddy Roosevelt as preserve of our nations resources. Roosevelt a avid hunter and sportsman saw the need for places where nature is allowed to take it course and people, ie men women children are allowed to observe and enjoy a wilderness as it was hundreds of years ago. The core of that promise has been sacrosanct. There has always been pressure from the NRA to hunt in the parks and go after the animals that were once part of promise of preservation for all. Now we have the right set of circumstances where they can get their way a the expense of the nations National Heritage. Right wing conservation backers and big money contributors have the votes to change part of our heritage. Plain wrong. Yes we should be allowed to bare arms yes we should hunt but not in our parks where family's go to vacation. Where children see America as it once was. and Where they should never have a concern for a stray bullet or a loss of the heritage
