raids for unregistered guns, too funny! only ignorant people want tougher gun laws! guns don’t kill people! people kill people! ANYTHING can be used as a weapon! even a can of axe. I mean come on if someone wants to hurt you they will use anything!

it’s far from the promise land. it is full of smalltown politics and who you know laws. go figure why no new people or businesses want to move to town. the headline about the real estate market last week is a joke. who wants to move here.

I agree. If they know Chief Reid, they don’t have a thing to worry about. The whole department looks the other way if you are on their do not bother list.
