In a recent incident, Park Rangers at Lava Beds National Monument in California arrested a man who was brandishing a handgun in a parking lot within the park. It turns out he also had outstanding warrants for threatening to kill agents from DEA and their families. The suspect was a previously convicted felon who was in possession of multiple firearms and large amounts of ammunition.
This is the type of person that National Park employees are worried about carrying firearms in our parks.

Not that I agree with the change in the law, but the counter-argument would be that 1: this is the type of person who would have a gun anyway and 2: if ordinary people also had guns, they would have a chance of neutralizing the crazy one.
