response from dad

When we went to the Boundary Waters 3 weeks ago, we considered mounting machine guns on our canoes to combat terrorism. What better way to sneak into the US than through the BWCA? We decided not to do that based on portaging the machine guns and ammo.

It has been a topic of news lately here in Duluth. To me, it seems a bit far fetched to reason that this training is necessary. We’d be much more vulnerable to a lake contamination. You can’t sink an ore boat or freighter with a machine gun. Just can’t make a big enough hole if you know what I mean.

I’d be looking for what is getting slid through the senate while this is getting all of the attention. A sportsman cannot use lead shot over a waterway in MN or WI now. It has to be steel shot. They’d be breaking the law by using lead.

I’m pretty sure nobody is going to get shot out of the water in Lake Superior any time soon.

Thanks for staying abreast of the news. It’s what keeps people accountable.


ok, i'll just move on from this topic now. dad pretty much said what i was thinking.

love,
james
