Consumer Credit Card Act and Loaded Weapons?

I was reading an article on concealed weapons today. Actually, it can be found here if you're interested in that

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090722/ap_on_go_co/us_concealed_weapons

but that isn't really the topic here. I read through this article and got to the end to see this:

In May, President Barack Obama signed into law a consumer credit card act that also restored the rights of people to carry loaded weapons in national parks.

lol! Now I knew about the Consumer Credit Card Act and I own both guns and credit cards but I fail to see how one has to do with the other. I was just floored. I'd never heard that before. But I thought I would show this as an example of how things get pushed through the system without the American people knowing about it. Hide it in with something really popular and run it through.

I have noticed throughout this thread that others are using other countries as examples to prove a point. But be careful. Most of the counties that have been mentioned are social democracies, or democracies using the parliamentary system.

America is truly unique, in that it is a Republic that was born out of the ashes of a revolution against tyranny. True Republics are rare in the history of the world. Because they contain strong executive branches, they lend themselves to evolving into dictatorships.

The founding fathers knew this. They assumed that at some point the people would have to turn against a federalist government if it became too powerful and tyrannical. Hence, why gun ownership is at the core of this country’s founding.

Guns, muskets and cannons gave us our freedom and they protect our freedom against enemies foreign and domestic.
