"Gun" Control. Yeah, That Will Work

Firearm control hypocrisy- Ronald Reagan edition

"The Mulford Act was passed really directly in response to the Black Panther Party bearing arms and self-defense legally." The bill limiting the right to openly carry loaded guns was supported by the National Rifle Association and signed into law by then Gov. Ronald Regan in 1967.May 27, 2023

That framework is the basis for many of the ‘gun laws’ enacted since.

Speaking of Regan, to many he was a hero. I’ve always thought he was a bought and paid for shill.

Kindness of Strangers – Banner specific

Several residents of our apartment complex are concerned he may be starving. There are two ‘treat’ stations on our floor. At least three other residents carry treats with them.

Rather than fight the situation, I supply the treats. The wrong treats give him extreme flatulence.

The joy he and the treat givers enjoy brings smiles and laughs to everyone (except the miserable haters – f**k’em).

Blasted dog will eat almost anything. So far the only thing he has rejected is garlic stuffed olives.

Give me a home

Urban screwing rural

Wyoming state senator telling it like it is – not that the ‘elites’ will care.

Letter to the Editor – ‘Gun Control’

I will be amazed if it is published. At least one leftist puke will read it before hitting ‘delete’.

Gun Violence.

Once again we see some state legislators feverishly working on gun violence. What a waste of time. Per the FBI published reports, we have an annual firearms death rate of about 80,000 per year in a country of 316,000,000 people. About half are suicides.

We have a crime problem. Criminals use guns, duh. Will criminals obey even more draconian laws?

All the time and energy expended by legislators posturing to their voters, “Look, we are doing something!!!!”, takes away from tackling real problems, like drugs. As an example, how many babies are born each week with drugs in their systems just here in Greeley?

Legislators, let law enforcement deal with gun violence. Tackle real problems instead of posturing and fear mongering.

Red Mountain Pass – Highway 550 – Million Dollar Highway

Some readers may have traveled this road. North out of Durango to Ouray, it is a challenge. A section is at the edge of a canyon with no guardrails. Recently a man ran off the road in a snowstorm and survived

As always, YMMV

Just below a nasty descending corner marked as a 55 mph section. I slow to 65 mph in the Prius on this section.

Colorado Hwy 52 at mm 98.5.

A case for reckless abandon for living and driving in Weld County might be a stretch. We did lose a Mitsubishi pickup due to tornado/hail damage a few years ago.
