The land board's chairman, General Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson, somehow interpreted this as a debate about the Second Amendment right to bear arms. He favored selling the property to private bidders who would guarantee access to hunters. Anyone else who couldn't make that guarantee would be disqualified, Mr. Patterson said, including the National Park Service, which bans firearms on federal parkland.
So naturally, we judge Patterson's position as "ridiculously skewed," because we're "Authorized Journalists" and it's our job to bring our intellectual enlightenment to those of you with "embarrassingly distorted" expectations that your lives are worth defending in wilderness areas.
As for the game harvesting issue, leave it to the opinion manipulators at The Dallas Morning News to perpetuate the Second Amendment = hunting sleight of mind.
