Re: [Paddlewise] Protect kayaker's constitutional rights -- resp

Richard obviously has some 'issues' with non-hunters.  

Nowhere in my alert does the term 'interfere' arise.  On the contrary, it
is illegal and unconstitutional for the state or federal government to
impose an exclusion zone around hunters -- whether they're after squirrel,
deer or whales.

Sorry Richard, but anyway, I'll admit that I feel the rights of the many
(non-hunters) should outweigh those of the few (hunters) who find killing a
sport in the same capacity that sea kayaking is...

(I'm sure we'll hear more from you -- NRA crap and all that)
