I think Jason Snyder hit the nail on the head in the post above. I couldn't agree more.
I'm guessing a considerable portion. Blanket anti-federalism is ubiquitous in the West, and it's a major concern to sportsman. My largest concern is absolutely a public land transfer. A unified Republican house, senate and white house may be a lot of things, but staunch supporter of federal public lands is not one of them. Even if Trump personally supports federal public land (a stance which began to erode over the past month), it's brutally hard to stand up to your own party. It could easily be a bargaining chip to give to the legislative branch in return for support for the major spending bill he wants for infrastructure.
I don't care if you voted Trump or Clinton, I just hope you'll stand and fight for federal public land. It is going to have to be a bipartisan effort. Hunters, anglers, granola-backpackers, birdwatchers, day hikers...a coalition exists if we can set aside cultural differences. When the land becomes managed by the states, we can kiss it goodbye.
Right on the money.

Disclaimer: this post concerns a single issue - federal public land.
Perhaps that day is today. Even though this bill has been sitting in Congress for a year, now we have an emboldened Republican congress getting the ball rolling on federal land transfer bills. This bill gets a hearing today:I have always believed in those that stand up for what they believe in, and some day I might join you but I see no clear and imminent danger at this point.
Anybody who thinks the 2A would have been more at risk under Clinton than public lands under Trump is smoking some stuff I do not want to partake in.
That's due to the Supreme Court makeup. If Obama had been able to replace Scalia with Garrick then the 2a would have been rendered meaningless. The lefts position is that the 2a only applies to state militia and since there are no longer any state militia the 2a is irrelevant. A democratic congress and president would quickly end private firearm ownership if the court was friendly to their argument.Obama was President for 8 years but somehow I still own all the same guns I started with. What gives?

I get that you don't comprehend that the 45th president will nominate multiple Supreme Court Justices, but it's fact. Stacking the court with more Sotomayor's and Ginsburg's is how firearm ownership would become a memory.
Ok , you're either a disingenuous troll or stupid.Insult all you want. I just pointed out how I've been hearing for decades now about how the Democrats are coming any minute to take all my guns, but here they are. Instead, Republicans are coming to steal my public lands, so I guess I'll have less use for them.

This thread is about land... not the 2a, and it's exhausting every single time that it's brought up, without fail in a discussion that has nothing to do with it.
Also Supreme Court can't just go around overruling and re ruling itself whenever it wants. And an amendment to the constitution is again, a large undertaking.

Actually the court can go around reversing itself at any time the majority wants to. It's tradition that they don't generally do that but there's nothing stopping them.This thread is about land... not the 2a, and it's exhausting every single time that it's brought up, without fail in a discussion that has nothing to do with it.

Yes it is, and the people who usually bring it up assume that only vote republican based off the 2nd amendment, because MSNBC told them it was so. Yes believe it or not, some of us are trendy liberals that demand free shit, so we don't vote democrat. Sometimes people don't vote based on one issue, but based on the big picture.
I don't want to see Federal public land change hands, but I also don't want to see my country turn into even more of a liberal social justice warrior cesspool shithole. Apparently some people are tired of being told they are racist, sexist, bigots, and xenophobes. That's why people voted for Trump, not based off of his public land stance. Well that and because Hillary Clinton is a lying p.o.s.
Contact your representatives and tell them land transfer is a no-go and you'll be triggered by it....#publiclandsaremysafespace
Right.... except this thread is about land transfer... that's it... non of the other stuff you've said applies.
At this point I'm not sure why you are even on this thread.
