[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 2604526, member: 92702"] I know what it does. Last year there was a bill in the Arkansas legislature to eliminate pretty much nullify all Federal gun laws. (SB298 passed the Arkansas Senate and is being sent to the House. If this goes through it will be a huge win for gun rights in Arkansas. It basically forbids the enforcement of any unconstitutional federal gun laws passed and in the future. ). This failed the House. The reason it failed is because of intense lobbying by the Arkansas Game and Fish. They were afraid they would lose their Federal Funding from the Pittman Robertson Act. If the Fed eliminates the funding, which I doubt, This will come alive again and become law for the courts to decide. Most likely the Supreme one. In my 64 years I cannot name a Federal program that lost its funding. The FWS will not stand for a massive funding cut any more than any other ABC Federal agency. What would change is anti's would have a much greater say in how the money is spent, and the most likely outcome IMO is we would see millions of acres of Federal land closed to hunting and fishing. They would say they didn't have the funding to support the roads, etc. But you can bet your last bullet the agency won't have to lay off a single employee. l [/QUOTE]
