How much federal land is suited to medium-to-high density housing? Very little. Mostly you'll see this going to build vacation homes and mansions for the wealthy. And who will get rich off it? Developers. How many congressmen and senators are developers or have developer buddies? Almost all of them.
So he voted for a bi-partisan background check bill (which ~86% of Americans support), and then nothing else that's relevant to this "is he coming for your guns" discussion. Got it.

While I was obviously excited to have not only seen the giant from last night again, but to have killed him, the overwhelming emotion was anxiety. I knew we could get both bulls out. I just knew what it might take to do so, and that there was a very real possibility that my friend's body might...

My hunting partner was feeling a little discouraged. I had promised him this area was worth hiking into because we would be able to glass a huge area and I was confident we would see lots of activity. Well, as of noon we had seen one cow and one far off grizzly. I assured him that caribou move...
I devised a plan to hunt an area I was fairly confident hadn't seen a human in years. The pilot said he had never been able to find a spot to land there so we'd have to climb 2700' from the nearest gravel bar to get to the spot I wanted to be. Somehow I talked my buddy into it.
