The Wild West at Its Worst

Curtis-Gazit argues that Forest Service Road 357 should simply be closed to recreational shooting. But in addressing concerns there or in any one specific location, Williams said, "We want to ensure that we don't continue to move the issue across the forest or into less desirable places." [More]

Translation: She doesn't want shooting anywhere. I'd be curious to know the split of residents making noise and those who enjoy living in an area where they've always had access to nearby areas.

Methinks Jane has a broader agenda:

“It sounds like you’re in a war zone, especially when they have the high powered rifles and AK-47s,” said Jane Curtis-Gazit who lives less than a mile from where she says irresponsible shooting is abundant on shared public land. A few weeks ago, she said, one of those bullets flew right over her head.

Local media sure likes to parrot her talking points.

The fact that "A person was recently ticketed for illegal shooting" also tells us there are already restrictions in the area that the "reporter" has not seen fit to elaborate on.

Boulder County, eh...?
