Connecticut's two senators, Democrats Chris Murphy and Richard Blumenthal, voted against allowing debate to move forward, saying it is wrong to pass legislation that effectively extends gun use on federal lands before Congress acts to protect against gun violence, such as the 2012 mass shooting at a Connecticut elementary school that killed 20 first graders and six educators.
I'm confused as to why personally responsible independent conservatives would even the Nanny State to supply them land to hunt on. Get a job - and buy your own land, or rent it from someone else.

Because your looking at it from a dark closet.
These are lands held by the people and admin by elected officials.
They are not private prop.

Again, what does hunting on federal lands have to do with Sandy Hook Elementary School?

Because hunters actually pay for the land through taxes on guns, ammunition, and licensing fees.
From the FWS website:
quote:
Proceeds from the Federal Duck Stamp, a required purchase for migratory waterfowl hunters, have purchased more than five million acres of habitat for the refuge system (2005 statistics only); lands that support waterfowl and many other wildlife species, and are usually open to hunting.
Pittman-Robertson Act of 1937

You really are confused.
Seems logical that citizens would want access to federal land. After all, it is owned by the people.
