The goal of their strategy is clear. Extending the public comment period amounts to a blatant and intentional stalling tactic; further pushing back resolution on this matter, possibly until after the election, into a new Administration. This needless extension will also allow opponents of carrying guns in national parks (like the Humane Society of the U.S. and the National Parks Conservation Association) to rally their troops to express their opposition to this commonsense proposal.The antis are trying to stack the deck, and they need an extension to mobilize. Regular readers know I've been bugging them to weigh in on this for months.

My long winded submission:
Quite simply, the existing regulations do not take into account the changes in State laws since the year of the Christian Lord 19 and 84, which are now in place, that cover open and concealed carry. Forty-eight states in total (forty of which have strong Right-To-Carry) have these laws and these united States needs to understand and recognize the changes.
Further, the current infringing regulations need to be over-turned and the penalization of law-abiding citizens should no longer occur so that we citizens should not fear prosecution for simply exercising our Natural right of self-defense when choosing the most appropriate tool to do so- a firearm, on DOI managed lands just as we do now on land managed by the Forest Service & Bureau of Land Management.
The Second Amendment is in the Bill of Rights for a reason, and it alone demands consistency and uniformity of law across our vast and splendid Republic stipulating an individual right (which even the SCOTUS recently admitted) and the DOI must realize that it’s task is the management of the citizenry’s land and not we citizens as we citizens manage ourselves as law-abiding or as criminals (if the latter, then incarceration or worse, after conviction, is the reward). Quite penalizing, prosecuting, and incarcerating we the law-abiding.
My short-winded comment:
In light of the Supreme Court's decision in DC v. Heller, upholding the individual rights interpretation of the Second Amendment, it seems ludicrous (to say nothing of a violation of rights under color of law or authority) to maintain the National Park gun ban. Please change the regulations to allow those who can lawfully carry a firearm outside the park to do so inside the park.
Sent long essay but sadly, "timed out"
In essence my sentiment was:
