  2. Do you hate crowds and traffic as much as I do? I do not have the option of riding during the week, so I get up reaalllllly early and try to get to morrison before 6:15. This puts me at my favorite resort way before most of the gapers and jibbers are thinking of getting out of bed, and as a consequence, very little traffic, and I usually get on one of the first 20 chairs. No crowds. No liftlines and open runs. I was able to get in 10,000 vertical before 9:30 this morning, thusly, I was finished early enough to avoid the teeming masses that have finally gotten it togther and now are overrunning the slopes. Out of the parking lot and down the hill early enough so I barely had to hit the brakes(read no traffic). All of the pass deals we are fortunate to have out here sholud make it a no brainer, and with lift tickets as cheap as they are right now and for the next month, you can do plenty of on slope reseach to figure out where you want to go. Go early, ride hard, and have fun.

    Reread my last sentence. We have sooo many guns in this country we have lost track of them. For years we did not have stringent enough regulations on purchase and resale, and now we are suffering the consequences of previous irresponsible gun ownership. Mistakes were made in the past and now we, if we want to take care of the problem, must make some hard choices. Register the guns, punish the owner for not locking up their gun and having it stolen, or taken to school by a pissed off 15 year old or selling it on the "gray" market. I agree with enfocing the existing laws, but that alone is not going to do it. The problem we have now is not unlike the situation we have now with illegal immigration, decades of a "laissez-faire" attitude until the problem grows into an 800 ton gorrilla. Purchasing a gun is a big responsibility. If you cannot act responsibly, then there should be a way for you to be held accountable. A little common sense goes along way.

  6. A well regulated militia, being nesscary to the security of a free state....

    It amazes me how often those first 4 words are dropped from the recitation of the second amendmendt. I have, at various times, refused to look at this and the silly laws threads because of the tired nra talking points that permeate our culture and "discourse" these days. I am sickened and disgusted by what has happend in the last few weeks in our schools across our country. In the name of fear and safety we have given up the 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th amendmendts, and yet we fight any attempt to appy simple commen sense to gun ownership. The latest answer to what has happend in our schools is to bring more guns into the schools and arm the teachers. Because of years of libreral gun laws perpetuated by the lobbying of the nra and others, we have made it easy for the psychotic freak bastards that have taken the lives of so many innocents in the last weeks to obtain guns either legally or illegally

    I am not blaming the gun but the user. If we had long ago treated the ownership of guns with the same gravity that we treat driving a car, truck, bus, or flying a plane, I am fairly sure we would not be having this conversation right now.
