BLM Says It Will Prosecute Illegal ATV Riders at Recapture Canyon
May 12, 2014
BLANDING, Utah - The federal government says it plans to prosecute everyone who illegally rode an ATV on federally protected lands in southeastern Utah over the weekend. Juan Palma with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) says his agency will "pursue all available redress through the legal system to hold the lawbreakers accountable."
Motorized vehicles have been banned in the area, which contains ancient Native American cultural assets, since 2007.
State Sen. Jim Dabakis says the BLM took the right approach by avoiding any escalation with the alleged law-breakers.
"I'm grateful there was no violence, and apparently there were not a lot of guns displayed, the way that there was in Nevada. So, I guess that's something to be grateful for," Dabakis says.

There are people who want all new guns to be smart guns, to be followed by the eventual....
...confiscation, removal, or mandatory surrender of non-smart guns.
As much as it may make sense to those who don't think there's any value in the Second Amendment;
Who don't think that people should be able to chose their own home self-defense tools;
Who fully trust the police, the army, all branches of the government now and in the coming 500 years;
Who don't care that then only the rich will have weapons while most of the rest won't be able to afford them, but that's "OK";
Who must think that even in natural disasters people shouldn't be able to protect themselves....
Well, how selfish of the rest of us to not trust them!
