Shooter lose millions of acres - where are the gun groups?

[Big Fin]

In our 4th of 5 episodes in the idea of handing Federal lands to State Land Boards, we talk about the impact on recreational shooting. Rec shooters stand to lose more than most any other group, yet not a peep from the groups claiming to represent gun owners and shooters. They can't say they don't know, as I've provided the facts to leadership levels of all those groups.

And when shooters lose, so does conservation. More than 70% of Pittman-Robertson funding comes from shooters who are not hunting. Anyhow, here's another dive into the topic of why we need to focus on improving Federal land management and reject the idea of giving those lands away.

Buzz said it well somewhere else - if these states were at least semi serious about maintaining your right to recreate on public land, they would "cut the red tape" on existing state owned lands.

Chaps me that NSSF, GOA, and the NRA arent saying anything about the potential loss of recreational shooting on public land.

Not sure - but seems like MOST nrl/long range rifle shoots would no longer even be an option.

Man, shooters need to pick up their garbage and brass. I don’t care what you shoot nor how much but pick it up…

What exactly does this have to do with handing federal lands to state land boards? Isn’t there some rule about keeping threads on topic?

Nevermind. My point was there is WAY more in that video than a reminder to pick up trash.

So you want @Lostinthewoods to ban the guilty party who side tracked this thread?

I think his point might have been how the trash produced doesn’t do anything to garner support for shooting on our lands and might actually cause some people to see it as a good thing.
He’s right.

If you listened to/watched Randy's linked YouTube in post #1, or part 4 of 5 of the podcast, you would identify a specific line Randy states;

Marcus: "...largely the big tracts of federal land are open to recreational shooting..."

Randy: "That's great! I'm on board with that! Be responsible, clean up after yourself and let's keep it that way..."

This is on topic and @Elktrack created the same, IMO, accurate assumption of Randy's comment as @Rie Bread shared in his post.

I did watch the video, but I suppose I stand corrected. My point was there are way more important things in that video than a reminder to pick up trash.
