Thanks for policing your trash. Unfortunately there is a culture in this country that have no interest in cleaning up after themselves and it can be found in rural USA, inner city, suburbia, and everywhere else.

Not to mention at a lot of large liberal gatherings/protests. Guess they think the trespassers will clean up after them. :>}

I guess a multi-gazillionaire pro 2nd amendment entity is extinct

Could be, I haven't yet heard of a mullti-billionaire who isn't anti-gun and willing to spend millions of $ to ensure the election of anti-gun politicians.

Hatred for gun owners and guns seems to be in the DNA of those guys, but you can be sure that they have a small army of armed personnel standing by to see to it that their privacy isn't disturbed by we mere underlings, some of whom happen to own a few firearms ourselves and they can't allow that to continue.

2) I suspect that he found one site where some idiot made a mess, and is acting like such messes are the norm.

We have places like that where I live. Idiots just go out to shoot things up. They take their trash with them, and leave it behind. Those guys are the ones I worry about, they don't care who it harms, or they'd shoot you for wandering up on them. And they make it worse for us who do care, by making people look at all of us in the same light.

Reminds me I’m due for an ammo audit and inventory. Missed the gun show last weekend.

Readers should follow the link. The article is about New York politics in Colorado, BLM land and more.

Meanwhile, socialist voters on once-conservative discussion boards are trying their hardest to bring New York politics to every state.

I do sympathize with your message about idiots, too, though. Where I live, it’s those few people high on pot and booze firing or ricocheting 7.62x39 (AK) rounds into or around neighboring private homes. The rounds can be heard buzzing over homes and landing near residents out walking on their lots.

The police won’t use the state statutes already available to cite the antagonists. They mock callers. They, being socialists, push instead for an ordnance or law to stop firearms discharges on all private properties in the county, including developments with large lots. They want everyone with firearms to show themselves with their firearms on a commercial range for local gossip regime inspections and increased socialist revenues.

The police already have laws to work with, but they don’t want to use them. They’d rather push for legislation to be the sole owners and bearers of firearms.

If your neighborhood is Southwest of Piedmont Ave.or Foothill Blvd. it is dead anyway.

Not defensible.

Most of our county has been put off limits to “recreational” shooting but we still here plenty of gunfire.

I’m on the CO Rockies. Although there are a few “developments” with small lots, lots on most of the very large county are from a little over 35 acres to tens of thousands of acres. Most “developments” are not very developed and have no building activity (regulations much like the New York or New Jersey that the local public officials originally came from).
