Jason Chaffetz is WITHDRAWING his proposal to sell off 3.3M acres of public lands. This is a huge win for us outdoor enthusiasts, conservationists, and explorers.

jasoninthehouse I am withdrawing HR 621. I'm a proud gun owner, hunter and love our public lands. The bill would have disposed of small parcels of lands Pres. Clinton identified as serving no public purpose but groups I support and care about fear it sends the wrong message. The bill was originally introduced several years ago. I look forward to working with you. I hear you and HR 621 dies tomorrow. #keepitpublic #tbt

Meh.
It would have been sold and the new owner would have leased it out. You would have had an opportunity to enjoy the land
BLM tries to do too much. I'm indifferent on them selling or not selling, but I don't understand anyone who is spinning it for selfish personal reasons.

Sucks that the west side of the US has ~50% federal land but the east side only has ~3%.
Wish we had more public hunting land here but oh well.

I'm so happy I get to keep my free shite!
Feds own 640 million acres and we can't sell 3.3 million.
Selling 0.5% of federal land would be a disastrous development for selfish snowflake "sportsmen".

I guess this would have fared better if they would have simply given the lands away to the UN.
Like Ted Turner plans to do with his western land holdings.

Guess even conservative hunters want their free shite and whine when someone might take it away...

Maybe someone else with some balls will take it back up and get it done.

This needs to go next
H.R.622 - Local Enforcement for Local Lands Act
Congress.gov
It calls for federal "block grants" to go to the state/local authorities to enforce the law on public federal land. Why would we need to give them welfare if they are capable of doing a better job?
This is just another attack on federal public land. Down the road it will be "oh look the state/local guys can't protect it...well shucks guess we have to sell it."

meanwhile the CRA used to get rid of the mining stream protection rule 
although if i had to choose between the two... good bye 621
