FPC Statement on Senate Gun Control Agreement

“Unalienable rights are not up for negotiation”

WASHINGTON, DC — Firearms Policy Coalition issued the following statement in response to the U.S. Senate’s release of the “Bipartisan Safer Communities Act”:

In closed-door Senate gun control negotiations, and after-hours release of text, the United States Senate has failed the People yet again in both their cowardly process and on the merits of the measure, which seeks to abrogate the fundamental rights of the People. The two-party system has fallen miserably short of protecting the rights of the People since its inception and this tradition of treachery continues today.

The proposal seeks to chill the right to keep and bear arms by incentivizing local disarmament proceedings, of which many states currently employ secret ex-parte hearings, massive penalties and enhancements reminiscent of the mass incarceration of the so-called war on drugs, naked discrimination against young adults, and an aggressive assault on peacable conduct.

This proposal is an act of violence against the fundamental rights of the People. Should this package be adopted, it will result in the imprisonment, injury, and death of peaceable people. Those who vote in opposition to human liberty terrorize the People who must chose to be disarmed or take the risk of incarceration, locked in a cage and separated from their families, their career and their agency–for peaceably keeping and bearing arms–which is their unalienable right.

The first day of sale is our opportunity to celebrate and support the waterfowl and wildlife we love so much.” Read more

Lake Michigan experiencing seasonal alewife die-off

Alewife, small prey fish that reach 2 to 9 inches in length, are experiencing a seasonal die-off in Lake Michigan, an event that frequently occurred 20 to 60 years ago but has been rare in recent times.

Not native to the Great Lakes, alewife migrated from the Atlantic Ocean into the Great Lakes through the Welland Canal in the 1920s.

Alewife spend most of the year in deep, cold waters. In the spring and summer, they migrate to nearshore areas to spawn and search for food. Some alewife come out of winter in a weakened state and don’t tolerate changing conditions such as large temperature swings. The combination of poor over-winter condition, temperature changes and spawning stress cause the die-off.

“The die-off is larger than normal this year and something we have not seen in years,” said Jay Wesley, Lake Michigan basin coordinator for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. “We are seeing the die-off extend from Muskegon all the way up to Cross Village and out to the Beaver Island complex.” Read more

WSF: A New Breed of Sheep Dog

Bozeman, Montana- According to Wild Sheep Foundation (WSF), dogs trained to detect diseases in wild and domestic sheep from their scat are part of a new program with the Montana-based nonprofit Working Dogs for Conservation (WD4C). The program is showing promise in combating disease pathogens, which are reducing live weights in domestic sheep and killing wild sheep.

“Poop sniffing dogs, who knew?” commented Gray N. Thornton, President and CEO of the Wild Sheep Foundation. “We are thrilled to have another tool in the toolbox for keeping wild sheep on the mountain. Beside over abundant predators, the bane of wild sheep today is disease transmission. There is more work to do, but what we’ve seen thus far, our canine friends could be a game-changer.”

The project is in partnership with the Wild Sheep Foundation, Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks, and Utah and Montana State Universities to put dogs’ extraordinary scenting abilities to use in saving wild sheep. Bighorn sheep face significant challenges from respiratory diseases transmitted from domestic sheep. Read more
