I support the measure that would allow loaded firearms in national parks and favor several other measures that Rolling Stone reporter Dickinson assumes his readers will find condemnable. Perhaps if more attention had been paid to spotlighting the dangers inherent in last minute regulation, this article would have been more effective.
