Re: “Too many forest gun incidents,” Aug. 12 editorial.
I recently found several casings from an assault rifle on a well-used ATV trail in the Arapaho National Forest. Fired in any direction, these bullets could have killed other ATV riders, members of a ranch family, their livestock or any number of wild animals common to the area.
A hunting rifle could do the same thing, but we hunters are paying for the privilege and generally hunt from Sept. 1 to Dec. 31. Republican members of Congress, are you listening?
