Daily Camera.com: : Nederland path project threatens beloved trees - Boulder Daily Camera

If you look at the tax records for this lot, there is no "ton of money being made" if fact the listing price is lower than what she paid and renters are only covering half of her mortgage.

It odd that you make these claims without any knowledge of the facts. This home has had the limbs trimmed back from the chimney every year since she bought this home, and there are no rain gutters. The homeowner has also been a "mountain resident" for over 15 years. So I guess you are OK with big government coming in a claiming Eminent domain to cut down old growth trees to make a parking space.

One thing the article fails to mention is that these trees are "old growth" trees estimated to be over 250 years old. The are over 2 feet in diameter at chest height. These trees have been in this location longer than the town of Nederland, longer than Excel's power lines and longer than the street itself. This home was built originally in the 40's and is one of the older homes on the street. At the time it was built is was commercial property and having "close" access to the roadway was a desired feature. Now that the the neighborhood has evolved and is "residential" by nature new construction is being built within the boundaries of cities claimed Right of Way. I found out about this project from another Nederland Resident and looked further into this issue. One concern the homeowner here mentioned is that she was never informed by the project planners, as many others were on the street. Why is this? They have her contact information on some of the plans. One of the projects main goals is to reduce flooding along the street, This has been a problem in the past due to poor city upkeep and poor engineering of the storm runoff. The proposed plan calls for pave stones set over a gravel base (to allow water to seep down to a drain pipe). This plan does not take into consideration the facts that heavy rains do not allow for gradual trickle down action. Nor does the design take into consideration the fact that freezing weather negates any of this trickle down. The current design would create an "ice trough" down the middle of the road.

Here it is again the title...calling it a clip, and the cartridges being called bullets. At least this time it is correctly called a magazine in the storie text. Jesh these DC writers are thick.

http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.bo... a magazine holds cartridges and allows the gun to shoot multiple times. A Cartridge is the complete "package" comprised of a bullet (or projectile) , the case, the powder in the case which when ignited by the primer, provides the gas force to propel the bullet down the barrel.

I can say with a high degree of confidence that this Magazine was not brought to the school by any gun owner. But rather a gun owners kid. This leads to other issues. Why was this magazine available for a kid take it. And why does the kid think bringing it to school was a good idea. Both of these issues lead to poor education to the child on the parents part. I grew up in a home full of guns (my dad was a cop). We were taught to respect and properly handle firearms as young children. Most kids these days have a sense of curiosity about guns. When properly introduced to them the fear and curiosity can be alleviated.

The last execution in colorado was what 1997?...yet the prisons are overflowing. If they actually did start exercising the death penalty then the crime rate would drop and the prisons would not be so full. And this needs to be done in timely fashion not stretched out over many years....conviction...then 90 day delay max.

To bad this criminal was not stopped "dead in his tracks" under the Castle Doctrine. Without a capital punishment penalty for armed robbery or other violent crimes. This douche bag gets to be, housed , clothed and fed, to the sum of about $70,000 a year for the nest decade, all compliments of your tax dollars...do you think that near 3/4 of a million dollars could have been better spent? This justice system does not deter crime because it is too weak. Every one has heard the saying "if you can't do the time don't do the crime". If the "time" was execution...most thugs would think twice.

Sat, 16 Feb 2013 02:58:46 +0000

More douche bags reporting calling a 30 round magazine "high capacity" The 30 round mag that magpul produces is the industry standard that is widely used by law abiding citizens, law enforcement and the military. A "high capacity" is one that might hold 100 rounds. I also notice in some previous comments that people think magpul is producing "bullets" ...more idiots. magpul produces polymer components, magazines ( a plastic box with a spring inside ) that can hold "cartridges" Bullets are the part of the cartridge that goes down the barrel on its was to the target. magpul magazines perform far better than the most stock OEM magazines and since Sandy Hook are extremely rare and they claim to have over 1 million on back-order...To me this sounds like business is good and that most people do not support this type of legislative crap.

Over Whelming majority support this ban? Where did they get that data? pull it out of their ass? If this were so, put together a ballot initiative and have the PEOPLE vote on it. These douche bags still keep calling it a a "high capacity" magazine...when in fact a 30 round mag is "standard issue" for most of these rifles. At least they have learned a little bit and call it a magazine and not a friggin clip.

Daily Camera.com: : Review: Nederland area safe for sport shooting - Boulder Daily Camera

Wed, 9 May 2012 02:25:50 +0000

I would love to shoot on my OWN land near the ned site but do to town laws I am not allowed. I have enough room and the terrain for a fine back drop. The fact that shooting on most private property is illegal in most towns...despite the fact that it could be done safely. Like boulder -exile said this is one reason why we live in the mountains. Near by access to public lands for public recreation...mountain biking...hiking...xc skiing...and shooting. BTW...the current shooting ban only covers forest service land that is east of the peak to peak highway. I hope to get out west of the highway this weekend to test some new hand loads.
