NJow we need to disban the DNR since they seem to have way too much power but no common sense on how it should be used. Personally I would rather see a conservation officer then a cop. Then maybe we would be back on track with the dnr, return them to what they were not as they are now. They use all kinda of tatics to drum up money in cluding tresspassing on private land, flying too low and well pertty much since it was changed to what they are now no longer seem to care about the land or the animals. Letting Deer starve to "stop Deer TB" is all a farse it isn't true and in fact Deer do not get it in the wild only when they are in close contact of the beef do they. Get it right DNR or close

Reps. Vagnozzi and Tobocman gave the following as the reasons as for their "No". vote.
"Our state parks should be a place where people can go with their friends, family and children to relax and be free from worry. Our citizens should not have to worry whether or not the person next to them has a loaded gun in their picnic basket."
Do they really feel that licensed law abiding citizens are the threat they should be worrying about? How many rapes, assaults, etc. are committed in state parks etc.by them? What makes a State Park be safer than any other area?
