>>2119564>>2119612Fuck off with the low effort wojack posting, he makes a point.
>>2119547Many people who own firearms are as cringeworthy as the soibois they shit on, but the silent majority of hunters and other firearm owners are bro-tier. For those of us who enjoy hunting, foraging, and target shooting for its own sake, national parks and national forests provide a different experience.
>>2119541Simply put, timing. Much of the western US was only settled within the last century or so, compared to the eastern side of the country. Compound this with the fact that very little between the Rockies and Sierra Nevadas are suitable for large scale farming or economic development (California as an exception) it shouldn't surprise that much of it remained unsettled until environmental ideals became more widespread and mainstream. One thing I would like to point out, however, is that just because there is less BLM/NPS/USFS land on the eastern side of the country, there still is significant wilderness areas that are managed on the state level.
