I came across this list in the WP.

For those who still think that this administration and in particular Zinke are stewards of the land, OUR Public Land, take a look at this list.

Who does it serve - the Extraction Industry. That is what Zinke the Swamp Creature is all about, he is the antitheses of TR and will sell all us sportsmen and women out.

But what do some of these even mean? Cite your source.

Rule helping consumers buy fuel-efficient tires?
Northern Bering Sea climate resilience plan?
Protection of whales and sea turtles?

Show me the whole piece of regulation and not some list with your (or somebody you trust) interpretation.

Remember the hullaballoo over the supposed reverse of the ban on lead shot in January? It really only reversed a political stunt of an Obama executive order late in his tenure. It didn't change anything for water bird hunters, but the press got in a few days of negative publicity while we figured out what was really going on. How many of the items on your list fall into this category?

I agree 100%, this list is just propaganda without context. Heck, about a third of the list I'd agree with just on the face of it. Most of them are totally useless or out of date regulations anyways. Here's a good one;

17. Emissions standards for trailers and glider kits

Just how did they ever set emission standards for equipment that doesn't even have a motor? And how much does the government spend every year on creating offices, hiring personnel, and maintaining records on this one regulation?
 
#49 Zinke hates puppies. The more adorable and cute they are the more he hates them. Really I am serious.
 
Mfb99, don't waste your time trying to get through to those who have no intention of being gotten through to.
 
It's not that none one cares, I personally don't care for the NRA type approach the OP tends to use.

With the exception of the dog comment, prior responses were reasonable and worthy of response. The attitude suggested by your comment is a good example of how low our willingness to discuss with those who disagree with us in this country has gone.
 
It's been stated over and over and over again on this forum to quit arguing with people because no minds are going to be changed, I was simply asking the OP to recognize that FACT. It's unwise to keep doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, IMO.
