    Default Public Land Transfer Bill

    https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-...-bill/621/text

    Trump the circus clown is creating a very convenient distraction and the dark money is putting their pawns in motion. If you are against this, it's time to take action.

    For those in Jeff Duncan's district trust me when I tell you he's all for this. And trust me when I tell you he's long past being tired of hearing from me about it.

    Duncan got an email today from me about it.

    No politician who votes for this will ever get another one of my votes.

    Government's role is to protect the security and well being of its citizens and the protection of shared resources that private citizens have no motivation/ability to do on their own for the greater good.

    What are his reasons for supporting this? Sounds like I need to introduce myself to him.

    So in this thread I see a bunch of fair tax/limited federal government guys that think the Feds should own 50+% of the West. No the government doesn't need to own dirt outside of federal buildings, military bases and maybe a national park here and there but the BLM/FS holdings of the West are ridiculous. Especially not so you can go chase an animal every once in a while.

    Apparently you haven't spent time in these said parks flyfishing, backpacking, camping, viewing wilflife...etc. once the government sells these that is it. They will never get back in public hands for all to enjoy and hard enough the future potential to be developed. Sure they don't plan on selling all the public owned wilderness, but each one has a unique ecosystem to be enjoyed. Keep America Wild

    I lived out West for 3 years, I know all about public lands. National Parks are fine but those make up a very small percentage of the land the the govt owns. While not outlined in that link one would suspect that they are talking of selling BLM and FS holdings that have value to others. I know plenty of ranchers that would love to buy the BLM holdings that they totally surround just to help stop the trespassing. The Feds should have never acquired most of that land.

    I suppose since it wasn't homesteaded it was never acquired by anyone else. But remember things are much different now than they were in the mid to late 1800s. The real problem is once that land makes it in the federal coffers it can never come out. No where in the constitution does it say anything about the federal government owning massive amounts of land in the West

    Or you could look at it from the perspective that the American people or tax payers all own the land. I understand what your saying but that's what makes the United States the best place on the planet for a outdoorsman.

    I am good with the sell of public land if comes in the form of a direct refund to all federal taxpayers after Congress passes a balance budget.

    Also, any conservation group that has made improvements to land or restocking efforts should be refunded.

    A real libertarian could seriously argue the North American Conservation Model is not Constitutional. Wild game and fish should be privately owned using the ultra libertarian view of selling public land. No more limits and season on game, if a mallards lands on your pond in July full of corn, kill it, or hunt deer at night in May. No more complaining about tamie and canned hunts. If government needs to be limited it needs to be limited and stay out of wildlife and land ownership.
