And the Fudds too
See, shooters/self-defense types aren’t the only ones taking issue with the NRA:
The NRA (Not Really an Ally), it seems, is up to its old tricks again, playing the bogus “access” card to cover its tracks with hunters, who it no longer represents due to its strident support of anti-wildlands, habitat-desecrating politicians and positions. The most recent example of this is the NRA’s opposition to protecting a part of the Browns Canyon area in Chaffee County as Wilderness.
Ahab gets to the crux of the issue and notes:
So, because he doesn’t like ATVs, but the NRA has decided to defend the access of all sportsmen, then clearly the NRA is bad, right? Unfortunately, the author let his personal bias against the NRA and off-road vehicles color his writing – and it ruined any point he may have made.

Not surprising. He’s an outfitter who caters to rich types who want a wilderness experience.
No different than a corn farmer who supports ethanol subsidies.

I thought hunting (and pack-animals) was not allowed under the Wilderness designation. Sounds like he’s catering to rich Fudds and expects his “wilderness experience” to be without disturbance from anyone noticing that he’s sneaking into said “wilderness”? What a turd.

An idiot complaining about the NRA’s support of hunters because the NRA is trying to get rid of an invasive law in a way that will not harm the ability of anyone to get access to a gun Is to :
Gun owners complaining about the NRA or its spokesmen advocating prohibitions on gun ownership and/or lawful and moral gun use.
As
Night Is to :
a) 16 kilograms of plutonium
b) Why Mommy is a Democrat
c) 3:00 AM
d) Day
I mean, if you want to make a point, at least find a hunter complaining about the NRA doing something that would actually result in fewer guns and/or hunters.

Every so often the NRA gets it right.
