He'll get my fishin pole as soon as he gets my GUN!

[countrygal]

The Mississippi girl will come out in me for sure if this ever happens!!!! I agree Charligirl!!! You won't get my guns or my poles, along with many other things!!!!!

[Jess from VA]

"The Obama administration will accept no more public input for a federal strategy that could prohibit U.S. citizens from fishing the nation's oceans, coastal areas, Great Lakes, and even inland waters."


Of course not, the superior socialist intellect needs and certainly wants no input from the people.

The idiot thinks he's the Sheriff of Nottingham:  all the beasts/fishes of the wild belong to the Crown.

If something like this goes thru, I predict a million boxes of raw fish mailed to the White House (with no ice).  (The cheapest postage takes the longest to deliver..... )

Wow, again wow.  You beat me to the post bsnicley. I tell you there are some enviornmental wacko's out there. How can they think banning fishing will help the enviornment?  Anyone explain that to me please? What about lack of food and overcrowding? Yea thats helpful to the enviornment.  Now I'm gonna have to register my Shakespear fishing rod.    Now tackle with be hard to find like .380 shells.  There are groups of people I dislike-being polite!  Anti-gunners, anti-bikers, and the PETA types. I need to grab my rods and reels, and guns and head to the mountains.

HOWS THAT HOPE AND CHANGE WORKING OUT FOR YOU!!

[ArmyValker]

haha,... this is ridiculous. They can try. They won't succeed.

I'll go to jail for that, and I'll happily challenge it in court.

[alph]

once again, you can't believe everything you read on the internet. 

i just hope he doesn't ban smoking, that would mean he'd have to quite.

Go ahead and defend him,  sooner or later he will get around to banning or outlawing or raising taxes on something you care about.  You know there are people who would outlaw motorcycles, they would be considered a health hazard in a national health plan I would bet...........................

[Psychotic Bovine]

No way you can convince his supporters that that is really his intent.  I am sure THE VAST RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY made it all up.  Espn as a credible source of knowledge for sport-related information?  Hogwash I say.  This is clearly a smear campaign to malign everyone against this president who only knows what we need/want better than we ourselves, do.  Keep in mind, he said pass that health care bill now, don't worry about the coming elections.  That proves he only has our best interests at heart, even if we are too darn stupid to know it. 

[Ken Tarver]

community helper ? WTF   I do not understand all the people who say he is so damn smart...he is an absolute idiot.
any room he walks into; he is the dumbest guy in there

[Big Rig]

Has anyone seen the national fish registry? I got an e-mail about it a couple  months back...seems as though they are/were looking for a "national" license system...if this was how the planned on getting names and addresses...for there plan...I think we should run all the tree hugging global warming sun of a Britches out of office and our of this great land of ours...while it is still ours...

Looks like I will be carrying when I fish...and I will ride my Valk...

These people are insane!!!

[GreenLantern57]

Gonna really help the poorer people of this country! I know people that depend on heading to the fishing hole to catch a weeks worth of meat during the nice weather. How are we going to support the national parks and lake. The fishing liscenes (sp) help pay for upkeep, research in better fish, rangers. Please let this be a bad joke.

Sure it'll help the poorer people -- it'll help make more of them!  It'll affect all the little bait shops, the larger hunting and fishing stores, the manufacturers of all the rods, reels, line, lures, hooks, creels, waders, gaffs. specialty clothing, and more.  Charter fishing boats won't be getting much work.  Fishing is a serious hobby, and there is a lot of money spent on serious hobbies -- just like we spend on our Valkyries!

Not to mention what it would do to the recreational boat market... I live about 5 miles from Charger Boats, and 20 miles from G3 boats, Bear Boat Trailers, Tracker, and several other manufacturers who's prime market is freshwater fishing boats. Aluminum welding fishing boat hulls and pontoons is a big source of work around here...

[highcountry]

How absurd is that!  What do those idiots think the money from fishing licenses is used for.  Here in CO, most trout fisherman practice catch and release and give a lot more than they take.  I guess since they cannot pass a bloated healthcare bill, they go for banning recreational fishing.

Hey Paul, I picked up this little paper back book, "None Dare Call It Treason," by John A Stormer, 1964. He studied the rise of socialism way back when and wrote this chilling warning of what is happening now. Then in 1968 he wrote the eulogy "The Death of a Nation." Truer words have never been written. Ought to be required reading for all US "citizens". No surprise that "they" would want to do something so obsured. This is what I try to warn folks about but not too many are listening. "Follow the money"

The feds support this ban...

  This just goes to prove what I've suspected all along, The Man and his cronies are all TOTAL and COMPLETE IDIOTS!!!! 

I have personally witnessed people in FL that depend on fishing to put food on their table. What kind of IDIOT would profess to be for the poor and then support something that would literally take food out of the mouths of the "poorest of the poor"?

Of course if people can't hunt or fish for food then they're more dependent upon the government and if people are dependent upon the government then the government has more control over them.

That's the bottom line with everything that him and his cronies have done or propose to do, it's not about providing healthcare or anything else for the people it's about controlling the people.

This does "BLOW" the mind, I sure hope that enough people get riled up about this to STOP it. 

[PharmBoy]

Sorry, but this isn't anything that anyone can vote on.  This is put in place by "Presidential Decree".  Just like Teddy Rosevelt set aside all the "National Parks" back in the early 1900's....JTL

I disagree - especially if George W is in the room!  

Not saying I agree with what he is doing, but he is no dummy. That makes him even more dangerous.

[fstsix]

Idiot? how about a Puppet!! I know? No More fishing!! Lets be all like Liberals or should i say, Height & Ashbury burned out Acid freaks now turned Politicians, i guess we can all join the performing Arts and have some real fun with all that stimulus money NOT!!!!!!

NYT: "ESPN outdoors editor Steve Bowman issued an apology yesterday afternoon, saying the article should have been clearly identified as commentary, not news, and should have had more balance. The Web site has since altered the article and added a header identifying it as an opinion piece."

Fisheries management is pretty boring when it's just based on facts.  Maybe it's the fishing pole makers trying to conjure up the same hysteria as the gun makers did so they can have a run on ugly sticks....

[Psychotic Bovine]

Actually, Obama himself conjured up the hysteria for the gun makers by his previous anti-gun record.
I did see the story from espn saying it was an op-ed piece, so I will be the first to issue a mea-culpa to Der Fuhrer if I meet him.
(Der Fuhrer is sarcasm, or is it?  Maybe this is all sarcasm...)

It is incredibly sad to see what is going on in the USA. Im glad I own A Valk and I get to converse with so many old school , stand up, like minded Americans in the VRCC. The types of independent thinkers who buy valks are like the independent thinkers who built this nation.
I am in the process of buying another handgun and my wife wants to know why I need another. I told her it wont be long before I cant buy anymore here in the land of the left (NJ). The way things are going here I may need it :-)
