It is a matter of something that is clearly political being posted by one moderator, and then commented upon in a very sharply political way by another moderator. Why then should any other member be worried about the no politics nature of this discussion board? There are many, many places online you can get into poltics of all kinds. PA is supposed to be a sanctuary from all that.

And you think that my post is political in nature?

Of course it is. From the Action Alert:

"In September, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Forest Service's regulations required that it consider banning hunting with firearms on lands designated as "semi-primitive" within the Huron-Manistee National Forest."

"Please submit comments to the Forest Service urging it to adopt the "No-Action" position, which would allow hunting with firearms in areas designated as semi-primitive to continue."

Ok, I was trying to not comment due to the no-politics rule, but at this point I can't help it. What I know of this issue is this;
 The sixth circuit court ruled that the forest service needs to re-evaluate it's LAND USE rules, due to the fact that there are specific areas here in Michigan that are labeled semi-primitive and some lawyer felt that anything motorized and gun hunting does not fall into semi-primitive use of the land. According to the state of Michigan land-use rules have to be evaluated every 10-15 years. The last time that happened was in 2006, which is when all this started, which by the way was way before Obama was president. The forest service has stated they have no intention of banning gun hunting, but because of the court order, they have to decide if gun hunting and the use of motorized vehicles on this land should be allowed on land that is labeled semi-primitive, or if they should change the status of the land so it's not semi-primitive. Which would allow gun hunting, and motorized vehicles.
Not trying to feed the fire here, but there seems to be a little confusion about it. Well, like I said, that's what I know about it and I'm no expert or anything, but that's what's going on here in my home state.
