Gun law complaints trail Obama during park tours
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. (AP) — Family in tow for a tour of national treasures far from Washington, PresidentObama is trailed by criticism from gun opponents and parks advocates for allowing firearms into such majestic places as Yellowstone. "There is still time for Congress and the president to take steps to keep loaded firearms away from the valleys of Yellowstone, the cliffs of Yosemite, and the Statue of Liberty — but they need to act quickly," said Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.............
Politically, the move thrilled gun-rights advocates such as the National Rifle Association and outdoorsmen. They generally lean conservative, which may help Obama's soft standing with centrists and independents. But it certainly didn't set well with some of Obama's core Democratic constituencies, environmentalists and gun-control backers.

Kliphnote:
I just love the words the AP uses.
Such as, majestic, valleys of Yellowstone, the cliffs of Yosemite, Statue of Liberty, than they use: thrilled gun-rights advocates. What does the AP think is going to happen? Someone is going to shoot "old faithful" or shoot the cliff of Yosemite or the Statue of Liberty? AP has done similar thing in the past, one sided, the Left side!
Just what I would expect from AP, state run media.
