Brady campaign files suit against concealed weapons in national parks

The Second Amendment of the U.S. Bill of Rights states:

"A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

Tell that to the Brady Campaign which has filed a lawsuit against concealed weapons being allowed in the national parks.

Today's Waynesboro News Virginian discusses the fight to prevent concealed weapons from the Parks. The law to allow concealed weapons is supposed to take effect on January 12. Reasons given by those against it include the fear of people shooting animals and shooting into the dark at a "noise" in the middle of the night.

However, most gun owners are more conscientious than that. As reported in the NV:

David Adams, president of the Virginia Shooting Sports Association, blogged about the Brady Campaign lawsuit when it was filed.

Adams defended the behavior of concealed handgun permit holders, saying they “are some of the most law abiding people in the country, with few having had their permits revoked for violating the law – in any way shape or form – including ‘poaching.’ ”

Gun rights groups such as the National Rifle Association "say the rule change is merely a reinforcement of Second Amendment rights":

Chris Cox, the NRA’s chief lobbyist, said last month that it was “pleased that the Interior Department recognizes the right of law-abiding citizens to protect themselves and their families while enjoying America’s national parks and wildlife refuges.”

After working hard to have the law changed, one would expect the NRA to stand up against the Brady Campaign's lawsuit.
