Davis T. 2012. Saguaros Serving as Shooting Targets. Albuquerque Journal. Albuquerque, NM. 2012
Saguaros at Ironwood Forest National Monument, are being used as shooting targets thus damaging and destroying them. The Bureau of Land Management proposed a ban on recreational shooting in the monument, which was opposed by the National Rifle Association. Rep. Jeff Flake (AZ) sponsored a congressional bill to make it BLM policy "to keep national monument lands open to access and use for recreational shooting."
