Sportsmen for Obama support his public land policies
ESPN had an article about a series of traditionally Republican hunter groups coming out in support of the Obama candidacy. Since the president does not really have the power to prevent gun ownership, these hunters are focused on the issue of access to public lands. These hunters believe that Obama will be more protective of wilderness lands than McCain. The biggest threat they note is, the “increas[ed] privatization of governmental land and the expansion of commercialized hunting and mining.” They believe Obama’s policies will be more likely to “protect open public lands from being privatized and horded.”
