Here it is July 1st and Colorado's new gun law making high capacity magazines illegal to sell to law abiding citizens and hardened criminals. Since I am a law abiding citizen I can no longer purchase one of these items. The only problem with this law is the hardened criminals do not follow the law. Cheyenne Wyoming or Cabella's in Sidney Nebraska is only about a hundred miles away from Denver. I am sure the high capacity magazines are available there for sale.
Now, I will be sleeping more secure knowing that these evil magazines are no longer available in Colorado.

A Post from one of my FaceBook friends
Thought this was clever and sadly true:
If you have to get your parents’ permission to go on a field trip or to take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If you MUST show your identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor, or check out a library book and rent a video, but not to vote for who runs the government — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for entering and remaining in the country illegally — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If the government wants to prevent stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines that hold more than ten rounds, but gives twenty F-16 fighter jets to the crazy new leaders in Egypt — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If, in the nation’s largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not one 24-ounce soda, because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If an 80-year-old woman or a three-year-old girl who is confined to a wheelchair can be strip-searched by the TSA at the airport, but a woman in a burka or a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If a seven-year-old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teacher is “cute,” but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government regulation and intrusion, while not working is rewarded with Food Stamps, WIC checks, Medicaid benefits, subsidized housing, and free cell phones — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If the government’s plan for getting people back to work is to provide incentives for not working, by granting 99 weeks of unemployment checks, without any requirement to prove that gainful employment was diligently sought, but couldn’t be found — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If you pay your mortgage faithfully, denying yourself the newest big-screen TV, while your neighbor buys iPhones, time shares, a wall-sized do-it-all plasma screen TV and new cars, and the government forgives his debt when he defaults on his mortgage — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If being stripped of your Constitutional right to defend yourself makes you more “safe” according to the government — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots

Smith & Wesson arming America
After reading this article, Record sales for S&W I have the impulse to comment and spread my opinion.
Why are gun sales so good even though there has recently been many tragedies lately about gun violence. In my opinion, it is not only the feeling that the government is attempting to restrict the 2nd Amendment rights of law abiding citizens. There is also a large mistrust of government has a whole. I have lost count of how many scandals or as the left wants to call them, issues, has come up lately. First it was Benghazi, then the IRS and the DOJ, following with the NSA and the Snowden issue. China and Russia have demonstrated that the US has become a paper tiger under Obama. I am sure I have left some issues out.
I speculate that many feel that it is just a matter of time before the need to have arms to protect their family is just around the corner once anarchy and or a police state smothers this country.

Anarchy in the Future?
Many articles in the news these days is about people who disobey laws. For example, The NSA Edward Snowden leaks classified information to the public about possible illegal acts of the NSA with no regards to possible espionage law breaking.
A majority of the Colorado sheriffs say they will not enforce the new gun control laws to become effective July 1st. Another example of defiance of a law that the sheriffs has deemed unenforceable and unconstitutional.
Eric Holder, the attorney general, stated recently that some immigration law. I cannot recall which immigration law he stated he would not enforce. I think it had something to do with the deportation of illegal immigrants. Here the attorney general states that he will not enforce a law.
More and more drivers are disregarding the laws of stopping for red lights and scooting through them and causing unsafe situations.
The trend today seems to be, if you don't like a law or you do not think it applies to you, it can be disregarded and that is ok. How far is this disregard going to go?
