After 25 years, local officials finally have to follow the law, and they are complaining about it bitterly. Think of that. Local officials complaining that they actually have to follow the law! You would almost think that they consider themselves to be a protected class that doesn't have to follow the law.

I wonder what Reedy Creek (Disney World) will do about this? Under Florida law they are a municipality.

What connection does that headline have to the story??? I see no complaining by proponents there. Opponents galore but not proponents.

That's exactly what they think.

While government persons are an arrogant class, the class known as horse persons is often insufferable.

Those “HorseyPersons” ganged up with the animal rights WhackoPersons and the rest of the socialism infected crowd known as GangGreen - the result was that horse slaughter was outlawed.

“The noble horse” was required by this law to be allowed to live out its life; no horse could be sold for slaughter and conversion into horse meat.

The Horsepersons and the erst of GangGreen had removed the property rights of all horse owners on the laughable concept of the “nobility” of the horse.

My personal opinion is that this case is a clear example of a deliberate attack on property rights. The snivelling, whining HorseyPerson wanted the property use of her neighbor restricted for the benefit of her horse.

The wench could not afford enough land to keep the ears of her ‘noble horse’ from being rudely assaulted by the sounds of gunfire, so HorseyWench tried to use the law to remove her neighbor’s right to use his property to exercise his 2nd Amendment protected natural law right to be armed and practice with said arms.

Big FAIL for HorseyWench.

‘Bout time!

They do indeed regard themselves as a privileged, protected class. That said, a little bit of mindfulness goes a long way.

We have neighbors who own horses in close enough proximity to make extended target practice sessions with heavy caliber weapons uncomfortable for their horses as well as ours. And if folks with horses moved in near us, we'd accord them some respect in that regard as well. No one bitches about our using 22s and that's just fine and reasonable. Again, a little commom courtesy and common sense goes a long way to keep things civil.

I have been told by several local police officers that thhey are exempt from having to obey the laws they enforce on other citizens because they ARE the law.

One of them is now behind bars looking forward to completying the rest of his 15 to twenty year prison sentence. Too bad for him that I didn't believe him.
