The big fear of the feds transferring land to the states is the states will then sell the land to private interests or resource extraction/developers etc. forever destroying public use of those lands.

If anything it would be easier from the fed perspective, especially considering our debts owed to so many around the world.

So the $64,000 question is, what stops the feds from doing the same thing?

Burns,

Randy offered Rosendale the same platform...and he chose not to participate.

If Rosendale was such a champion of MY PUBLIC LANDS, wouldn't you think he would want to use any and all platforms to get that message out?

Rosendale was done before he started, and if not for the Trump machine spending massive tax payer dollars campaigning on his behalf...it wouldn't have been a "squeaker of a win".

Its embarrassing how much money, lots of it taxpayer money, the R's blew on Rosendale and still lost.

The one thing for certain, is that even though you think that public land transfer, which is part of the RNC platform, is not an issue...there is no doubt it is. That issue will continue to sway elections across the West. Those that think its "fake" are going to be on the losing end of a lot of elections. Count on it.

Ben O'Brien is now a producer for Steve Rinella's show and if you listen to that guy your warm and fuzzies will disappear quickly.

He claims to have created the "Pro-Nuance/Anti-Bullschit" slogan used by the show. Yet whenever someone talks gun control or wanting to shoot an elephant, he stays very fugking clear of nuance.

Rinella is personable and came up with a good show but he's the last guy I want advocating for anything politically. In interviews he allows anti-gun sentiments to cruise right by and he doesn't do a good job of defending all types of hunting. He will defend baiting and the use of dogs but he isn't horribly articulate about it and he approaches everything from a "please understand so I can keep doing this" approach. He and his show are in bed with the anti-gun community. Period.

He can use examples like Fox News as never being influenced by left leaning sponsors but he only displays his own naivety when he does so.

I for one DO NOT want more hunters. I would much rather see hunters get on a unified front with companies in the renewable resource business and make compromises with those demographics than some left leaning cock sucker that has only one goal.

I've heard him defend the 2nd more than once he just does it in an uneducated way.

What he does do that I think is helpful is he rails against the SJW, left wing nonsense in an open forum.

I would agree though that he isn't doing anything good for hunting or the 2nd. On those two platforms he is idiotic. But at the same time, nobody ever explains it to him either. Because the "experts" he surrounds himself on these subjects are guys like O'Douche and Rinella.

I agree all but the 2A part. He has a platform that could do serious damage to anti-hunting and anti-2A. Yet he screws it up every chance he gets. I lost every once of respect I had for him after listening to the Dudley interview.

A.) You're both gay.
B.) You defend his safe space with vigor.

Aw, after reading this thread (thanks Steelie) I really enjoyed it.
As for Brad's attacks on the Green Decoy's paper, those funding streams are documentable, and no sportsman would ever like what entities like Wilburforce fund otherwise. Go to www.guidestar.org, register (free) and you can download the Form 990 returns which, way in the back of usually hundreds of pages, documents donations made.
Yes, paid PR people at Green Decoys were hired to do the research, and it honestly would be nice to know the funder. But public records show the leanings of this Chernin guy. He's a Bolshevik. Period. And while Rinella can claim he's still got "creative control" the sick reality is, Chernin's group would not invest without some kind of due diligence. Chernin or his advisors really like the shape of Rinella's narrative, and thats why they throw down, just like the funders of BHA like what BHA paid staff say to the public.
I'm glad the Federalist saw fit to look into Chernin's investment. Hope he loses it in the end.
