YEE-HAH!!!

Well, our good friend and resident troll Barry is a happy man tonight, because today the Supreme Court overturned 230 years of precedent and decided that the entire U.S. ought to be just like the Wild, Wild Old West -- where everyone's packing heat, and everyone can just shoot whomever and whatever they want.

But the Bush Administration isn't going to be satisfied with just the overturning of Washington, DC's handgun ban. No, the pencil-dicks in the Bush Administration want everyone to be packing heat in the country's National Parks, so that everyone can hunt for bears -- or stray tourists:

The Bush Administration proposed a repeal of the current law governing firearms in national parks in favor of new regulations that would allow for people to carry loaded, concealed weapons into the parks. This move would increase poaching in the parks, according to the Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER).

PEER released a statement Thursday arguing against the proposed change for its failure to consider environmental concerns. The organization blamed the proposal on the influence of the National Rifle Association (NRA).

"The Bush administration proposed the rules in response to a National Rifle Association campaign that threatened congressional repeal of the park service rules," it said. "The NRA has made no secret of its desire to increase hunting within national parks."

The right sure does love its guns. Funny how the Second Amendment is the only one they really care about. Funny how they have they don't care about the government sweeping up all phone calls and internet activity, but take away a big stick that shoots with power and they get their....panties....in a twist.
