As with typical Liberal (Orwellian) policies they are not well thought out. The intended specific target of the Liberal mandate in reality always encompasses a much larger subgroup of scapegoats. Liberals make this mistake time and time again because of their flawed narcissistic thought process; I am creating this government mandate because I care more than you and it does not apply to me because I am much too important or If I can not achieve what I believe to be my full worth in society & rewards then no one else better achieve also. The consequence(s) of the Liberal government mandate always are more harmful than the perceived dissent to the Liberal worldview.
Hunting & fishing or just plain outdoor activities has always been a major taboo activities to the Liberal worldview. To the Liberal, it is the equivalent of crimes against Mother Earth punishable by death of the offender. Blood thirsty man just indiscriminately kills sweet innocent peace loving Bambi or your ATV is absolutely ripping the landscape apart. Man is just a pesky cancer on this planet which Mother Earth is going to die at any moment. Liberals tend to have the Walt Disney cartoon image of how animals live in the wild forever imprinted into their minds. Never mind the fact that all animals live within a food chain and brutally kill other animals and/or may eat plants for food.
In the attempt to eliminate game sportsman whether it is a fisherman and/or a hunter from the act of hunting; if the action of hunting can not be stopped why not ban their tools of the trade which allows the game sportsman from performing their action of hunting? The National Park Service is a quasi-government entity:
*A quasi-governmental entity is one that: (1) has a close association with the government agency, but is not considered a part of the government agency; (2) was created by the government agency, but is exempt from certain legal and administrative requirements imposed on government agencies; or (3) was not created by the government agency but performs a public purpose and is significantly supported financially by the government agency.
In essence the National Park Service is a government agency that can draft enforceable regulation but, is not responsible to the constituent which is all too common with this existing imperial tyrannical Federal government.
The National Park Service announced that it is going to ban the use of lead components in fishing tackle in all national parks by 2010. The lead ban also would include lead component ammunition used by hunters. “Their intention to eliminate the use of lead in fishing tackle in National Parks was made without prior consultation of the sport fishing industry or the millions of recreational anglers who fish within the National Park system.” ASA vice president Gordon Robertson said.

So if lead is banned what are all the consequences of this mandate when it evolves? How does this affect all the ‘Mother Earth’ communers who travel to the National Parks in their Hybrid vehicles? Do not these Hybrid vehicles contain earth friendly acid and lead plates in their battery cells to produce CO2 friendly energy. Do not bother bringing electronic equipment like digital cameras, radios, or you’re GPS. Those electronic devices contain solder which is a derivative of lead. Why stop there, just ban all vehicles since all vehicles have some kind of lead in their electronic systems or batteries.
If the gun industry uses copper or steel for ammunition, will the National Parks allow hunting again? If a fisherman tied a rock to his line as a weight, does this make him legal again? I seriously doubt it. Even if they did, more harm would be caused from the harder projectile tips used by the hunters. Instead of the soft lead projectile, a harder projectile material would continue to travel through the hunted animal and penetrate through the next animal. As for fishing, I am sure that the Liberals will derive a reason why rocks as fishing weights are harmful to the environment.
Without the hunting license revenue and park fees from sportsmen and other park visitors, who is going to finance the National Parks? Are the National Parks going to be forced to travel up to Capital Hill and demand their own bailout because their own government mandates halted the use of the National parks?
