ww.lmtribune.com/story/opinion/38431/> Just relax: Congress doesnt want your
guns

If Congress engaged in some sort of gun control crusade, youd expect people
to hoard firearms and ammunition.Or just the reverse.But how can a
gun-friendly Congress frighten gun enthusiasts?In fact, Congress has gone
one better. Rather than merely reject more restrictions on gun rights, the
politicians on Capitol Hill last week actually expanded them. They passed a
bill allowing people to carry concealed and loaded guns into the national
parks. This measure cleared the House 279-147 and the Senate by 67-29. And
it represents far more than just tweaking a 1982 Reagan era regulation
mandating national park visitors to unload and store their weapons. Reagans
rule was a compromise. Our national parks started out in the 1890s banning
weapons entirely. Had you wanted to transport a gun into Yellowstone
National Park during that era, you first surrendered it to a ranger. If you
were traveling from one park gate to anothe r, the ranger would carry the
weapon and leave if for you at the next park exit. Although it reflected the
nations commitment to absolutely protect park wildlife from poachers, the
standard unquestionably went too far.But this latest move is heading to the
other extreme. Former park service directors and current rangers say it will
encourage mischief in the back country while risking accidents in the
densely populated campgrounds. Such concerns went unheeded, not only among
Republicans, traditional allies of the gun lobby, but also by 105 House
Democrats. Some examples among that group include Idahos Walt Minnick, Utahs
Jim Matheson, Colorados John Salazar, Diana DeGette and Ed Perlmutter and
Washingtons Adam Smith.And consider the list of Senate Democrats who lined
up behind this idea. Among them are Montanas Max Baucus and Jon Tester,
Colorados Mark Udall and Michael Bennet, Nevadas Harry Reid and Virginias
Mark Warner and Jim Webb.If nothing else, that should tell you th at future
gun control laws are a nonstarter.So should last years U.S. Supreme Court
5-4 ruling, which not only struck down a Washington, D.C., gun ordinance but
also recognized an individuals right to keep and bear arms under the Second
Amendment.No one is seriously suggesting boosting taxes on
ammunition.Advocates of reinstating the Clinton-era ban on many assault
weapons know they lack the votes to prevail.Even the Brady Campaign to
Prevent Gun Violence is focusing its energies on the comparatively modest
goal of extending the criminal background checks now imposed people who
purchase weapons at retail stores to those who buy them at gun shows.So why
do some gun dealers have empty shelves for ammunition? Why are ammo supplies
so short that police officers in some jurisdictions around the country
reportedly have cut back on training to save bullets?You could blame groups
like the National Rifle Association. They continue to market hyperbolic fear
campaigns. But thats just pa rt of the game. Many lobbies and political
campaigns trigger anxiety in order to round up members and contributions.But
how do you explain consumers falling for it? M.T.
