This is a very good decision! A have read on several blogs about this, and the Anti-Gun, Anti-Hunting crowd are up in arms!!!
Fortunatly though, it is a little harder to overturn this rule than a stroke of a pen. At a bare minimum it would take about a year to overturn any executive rule changes that has happened. This particular one took over 23 years to get changed. Alot of the rule change has to do with who is appointed to the Secretary of the Interior.
Rumor has it that my Governor from Wyoming Dave Fruedenthal, or Montana's Governor Brian Swietzer, are on the shortlist for this position. Both of these guys are strong gun supporters and are both in favor of this decision.
But if it is overturned it would show Obama's true colors regarding gun owners rights, and could be a detrimental decision regarding future elections. So much so I don't think he will touch the subject unless something dramatic happens within our parks that would allow him the opportunity to overturn the rule while having public support.
