Lawful citizens will remain that

Millions of law-abiding citizens legally carry concealed weapons in the majority of our states on a daily basis with nary an illegal incident.

Let me make sure I understand this. According to some of you, now that we have legal concealed carry in the national parks, these otherwise calm, sane, law-abiding citizens, upon crossing that invisible line into a previously peaceful national park, will somehow be mysteriously morphed into murderous criminals, launching lead in every direction and killing everything in sight.

And it wouldn’t be possible to have a shooting rampage from the top of the Statue of Liberty. It is still illegal to carry a gun there and we know the criminals obey all of the gun laws.
