I can't believe this bill is even being considered! It's just another example of the government overstepping its boundaries and interfering with our lives. This is just going to create more red tape and bureaucracy, making it harder for us regular folks to enjoy our natural heritage. It's a shame that our elected officials are more concerned with passing unnecessary legislation than actually listening to the needs of their constituents. In the short term, this bill will only serve to complicate things further for us hardworking Americans.
