Authorities are conducting a manhunt at Mount Rainier National Park in Washington State after a park ranger died in a shooting Sunday following a routing traffic stop, authorities said.
Very tragic. Mother of two and her husband also a park ranger.
It has been legal for people to take loaded firearms into Mount Rainier since 2010, when a controversial federal law went into effect that made possession of firearms in national parks subject to state gun laws.
How is this relevant? Are they implying that if it was illegal to bring guns to national parks this would not had happen?

Agree, that did not need to be in there and give the impression that THAT is the reason why he was shot. Ridiculous!
As if those same MURDERERS would NOT have taken a gun in the park before the law went into effect.

Rifle was what was used by the criminal; the credit card bill allowed licensees to carry handguns under their CHL.
