Explain how it's hypocritical or ironic. Do I support the Canadian system? When a thread opens up on abuses under the Canadian system, you can bet I'll be there.
Get a clue, please.

Horrid, horrid people up there in Canadia. We ought to nuke them. It says so in the Bible.

I agree that the rules are flawed, and the people should not have been arrested. Those policemen could have handled the situation much more reasonably and less violently even with the rules standing.

Suppose you tell us. Then we'll know.

You honesty don't think that your (potential; we don't know what you think) support for the absurdly broad Canadian "hate crimes" laws would tend to make your opinions on the US slightly suspect?

Likewise.

"Now We Are All Criminals"

"It is already said that there are so many laws, rules and regulations in the US that each person in the US breaks at least one law per day, if not much more - without even knowing it. But the US Government is becoming more obvious in how it will go about making everyone a criminal and fining them ridiculous amounts of money in doing so."

It disallows in DC because DC does not allow the carrying of firearms in public, open or concealed, IIRC.

back on topic: if Congress must pass the laws and/or regulations for the Nat. Parks Dept.; and since they do not require a permit for free speech, then is it possible that these people were arrested for unruly conduct, disturbing the peace, and resisting arrest? Have actual charges been filed or where they simply detained, removed, and released? Do we know?

I'm still attempting to understand where Libertarians draw the line between their fist and the next person's nose. You have not given me that answer.

I suppose you also supported the protesters trashing the State Capital in Wisconsin. They didn't have a permit.
Glenn Beck did, he believes in the rule of law. Btw, Glenn's gathering was not a protest.
