The state’s elk restoration zone is a 346-square-mile area spanning parts
of Shannon, Carter and Reynolds counties. The area was selected
because of suitable habitat, extensive public lands, low road density,
minimal agricultural activity and landowner support.

Snowy peaks, dark timber basins and grassy meadows. RMEF is leading
an elk country initiative that has conserved or enhanced habitat on over

Colorado -–(Ammoland.com)- The ATF is at it again and this time, it’s
Feds Tracking Gun Purchases
not just shotguns they’re after.
MAY 05, 2011 07:36P.M.
The new Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE)
“rule” would require gun stores to report to the federal government the
Feds Tracking Gun Purchases
names of people who purchase more than one rifle in a week.
This new reporting requirement is nothing less than firearm registration
in all but name.
The new BATFE rule change has been in place since January. It was
trumpeted as a supposed “solution” to the problem with Mexican gun
runners on the Southern border, but common sense tells us otherwise.
The BATFE’s exact rule states that anyone who purchases more than one
rifle that is semi-automatic, larger than .22 caliber, and capable of using
detachable magazines within five business days of each other, must be
reported.
Although the BATFE claims that this requirement only applies to states
along the southern border, the actual published rule has no geographic
limitation.
ATF to Require Multiple Sales Reports for Sporting Rifles
That means they’re tracking the sale of shotguns and rifles
across the country.
The idea for BATFE’s new requirement came from billionaire-playboy
Michael Bloomberg’s henchmen at Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG).
MAIG has been pushing the Obama administration to do this since
August of 2009.
Anti-gunner Bloomberg released a statement calling the new rule “…a
powerful new tool to catch the straw purchasers and illegal traffickers
who are supplying Mexico’s cartel killers.”
His statement is typical anti-gun misdirection. While the BATFE is
regulating guns that Americans buy, their “Gunwalker” program is

This bill would require models currently available to be redesigned by
their manufacturers to have a micro-stamping component, which would
vastly increase the cost of these firearms.
Micro-stamping is an unproven technology that is easily defeated with
common household tools and the replacement of a few small parts. If
passed, the availability of semi-automatic handguns in New York will be
in serious doubt, as manufacturers simply may choose not to build or sell
firearms for purchase in the state. Of course, that is the ultimate goal of
this legislation. Make no mistake, this is a gun ban and it must be
stopped.

Land Management (BLM) and U.S Forest Service (USFS) land have
inadequate access.
