Steve Lewis: Important discussion

We have a lively local discussion around gun violence.

Howard Bashinski: Moving it forward

The continuing name calling, negative innuendo and downright slander around this issue is an example of what I call “being a part of the problem.”

Sandra Moore: Federal or state law?

I find it inexplicable that some of your readers cannot understand the difficulty the various law enforcement personnel has in following procedures relating to enforcing certain laws.

Don Asta: Congratulations sheriff

The Second Amendment is not about hunting or recreational shooting. Rather, it is about defense of self and country as well as protection of the people against tyranny.

Steamboat Springs School Board: The basic facts of Steamboat school funding

After the editorial “Fund Board changes are welcome” in Wednesday’s Steamboat Today, it seems appropriate to inform the public of the financial status of the Steamboat Springs School District.

Jonathan Coles: Boxed in

In view of the pending move of all the Sundance Plaza post office boxes to the downtown location, this seems an appropriate time to readdress a perennial question about mail service in Steamboat Springs.

Renee Gaerlan: Painful process

Although it is true that home ownership is not for everyone, I have been told that people in the community think the “partner families” somehow did not do what was needed in order to move into Routt County Habitat for Humanity’s Riverside duplex.

Maureen Smilkstein: Missing the mark

Sheriff Wiggins, along with the Weld and Moffatt County sheriffs, were elected into office to enforce all the laws legislated regardless of their personal or political views.

Loretta Van Norstrand: Defending our rights

Do any of the people denigrating Sheriff Garrett Wiggins realize that their president will not enforce laws that he doesn’t like?

Diana Eubank: Take a breath

Wouldn’t it be great if we all could just take a breath and a moment, slow down the hypocrisy and think about things?

David Ihde: Constitutionality at issue

Where in the Constitution does it give authority for any level of government to determine what “we the people” can keep and bear?

Kevin Copeland: 'We the people' applaud

I would suggest to Mr. Peters and others critical of Sheriff Wiggins to not waste their time mulling over a recall petition for our sheriff. Instead, you should be worried about saving your own candidates in the next election.

Scott Wedel: Categorizing opinions

The opinions on Sheriff Garrett Wiggins’ position on Colorado’s recently approved gun control measures broadly fall into three categories.

Barb Parnell: Read food labels

One of the easiest tools a family can use to ensure a healthier diet is the Nutrition Facts label found on every product.

Gar Williams: Wiggins is right

Violation of the new gun control law on magazine size is a misdemeanor, not a felony, and by statute a sheriff is not required to investigate misdemeanor law violations.
