As if those same MURDERERS would NOT have taken a gun in the park before the law went into effect.

Rifle was what was used by the criminal; the credit card bill allowed licensees to carry handguns under their CHL.

I'm sorry, but its as if they took the original Rambo and got one of those anti-war movie people to tweak the plot, and then said, "Let's do this for real"...you can say anything you like about my mental state, etc. All I know is that before Fast and Furious, I would have taken it at face value. Now...?

I'm taking it at face value because we all know how this is going to end: with the capture or killing of the suspect. I will grant that AP is probably gleefully pumping up the PTSD/Iraq Vet/Survivalist angle because it fits their narrative—just as not reporting on Fast and Furious early on until they were practically forced to do so was inconvenient to their politics and didn't fit their narrative—but I don't think that this story is part of some nefarious government "black ops" effort to further erode the 2nd Amendment.

That said, I have no doubt that democrats will use this incident to try and force Congress to revisit concealed carry in national parks, and the Brady Center will likely lead the charge. After all, it is liberal SOP to never "waste a crisis," even if they have to gin one up.
