According to KOB.com, Montezuma County Sheriff Dennis Spruell thinks the new state gun laws passed in Colorado are ill-advised and unenforceable. And the law man is not at all shy about saying he has no plans to enforce them.

National Police Week is upon us and recognizes those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others. It’s held in Washington D.C.each year, and includes a moving ceremony and vigil at the Police Officer’s Memorial. I have not been to the ceremony but have visited the memorial each time I have been in our capital to find the names of the many officers I knew whose funerals I have attended. Like visiting the Vietnam Memorial I have been moved to silence to see the names of so many officers who lost their lives throughout the years.

Here’s a question for you. What is Homeland Security? Is it what we used to call national security? Is it public safety? Is it a massive sinkhole where taxpayer money gets dumped to be lavished on former government employees through no-bid, cost-plus contracts? If you have no idea what “homeland security” is, or what DHS does you’re not alone. No one knows. Not even the folks at DHS.
