Gun Owners of America reports that the National Park Service is adding the Washington-Rochambeau Trail to the NPS, effectively expanding the gun ban on this 600-mile long trail.
On July 10, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to designate the Washington-Rochambeau Trail, which stretches 600 miles from Rhode Island to Yorktown, Virginia, as a National Historic Trail. Such a designation would place the trail under the jurisdiction of the Department of Interior and the National Park Service, thus subjecting the Washington-Rochambeau trail to the current NPS gun ban.Carrying firearms on land controlled by the NPS is prohibited, even if the state in which the land is located allows firearms. The only way you can legally have a firearm anywhere on National Park land currently is by having it unloaded and inaccessible, such as locked up in your trunk.
The GOA is asking that you contact your senators and ask them:
to support S. 2619 -- a bill introduced by Sen. Tom Coburn -- to repeal the gun ban on National Park Service lands. Also, please urge them to stand with Sen. Coburn against the strong-arm tactics of Majority Leader Reid, who is trying to silence Coburn and thwart his pro-gun agenda.
