Okay. This does it. I have asked President Obama and every Senator I can locate to move immediately to end any USE on Federal public land that discriminates against any American citizen. If certain USES, such as camping and bird-watching, do not involve discrimination, then those USES should continue to be allowed. But if the USE includes discrimination, such as the expected extreme discrimination in New Mexico based on residency requirements for the USE of hunting, then that USE should be disallowed.
Let the New Mexico resident hunters hunt "their" wildlife on New Mexico state lands. But no more USE of Federal public lands based on discrimination. New Mexico resident hunters will be welcome to camp and bird-watch on Federal public land with the rest of us American citizens.
And don't tell me that New Mexico is justified in this change because it only mirrors the discrimination that occurs in Arizona and some other states. I own property in both Arizona and New Mexico (including paying property taxes) and have family connections in both states extending back over a hundred years. But because I currently choose to reside in another state, I am discriminated against in favor of some guy who only a few months ago drove in from LA, or better yet, Juarez.
But... great job of driving another huge wedge into the already diminishing hunting community. When the Anti-Hunters come to take away hunting as an approved USE on New Mexico's Federal public land... well, you'll be on your own.
Go ahead... bring on the hate.
