In a memo released as the Thanksgiving holiday was beginning, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said he would ?take no further action to develop or implement? the draft policy, which was written in response to complaints in Western states from residents who have clashed with gun owners who have used public lands near private property for target practice.
