Please Don't Shoot the Ranger
So I heard last night on National Public Radio that 51 U.S. Senators are backing a bill to allow people to carry loaded firearms in our National Parks.
Those 51 U.S. Senators are apparently remarkably out of touch regarding the day to day realities of law enforcement and public safety within our National Parks.
Can we vote these dipsticks out sometime soon? Please?

Mannie,
Can just see my luck. Telling folks not to play on the cannons at Gettysburg, and each family member pulls out an ak47 and starts shooting. Hey Congress, how about spending more time on setting money aside for battlefield preservation?
Hope all is well.

Will rangers be issued body armor and helmets? I knew I should have hung onto that stuff.

Hey Mannie, that will make you the "Go To" guy for helmets.
