In case this didn't show up in your e-mail please provide comments on this issue to the BLM. The NRA is correct that the anti's will be all over this so we need to do our part.

Here is what I posted as a comment:

 

As a target shooter, hunter, hiker and camper who takes advantage of the multiple use opportunities provided by the BLM land in Arizona I request that no restrictions on target shooting be added to the Sonoran Desert National Monument. Specifically all current restrictions should be removed and the SDNM should be managed in accordance with the Lower Gila South RMP of 1988. While I understand the desire to stop improper behavior by some citizens, restricting the rights of all citizens is not the answer to the misbehavior of a few. Balanced enforcement along with self-policing will do more than the arbitrary designations of no shooting areas to reduce "trigger trash" and other problems.
