Who really wants to be king?

Congratulations to Sheriff Ed Kilgore. As Humboldt County's top law officer, he not only runs a great shop, but he understands his job, his duties, and above all else he understands the Constitution of the United States of America, and all that great document represents.

Sheriff Kilgore thanked for taking a stand

Regarding Sheriff Ed Kilgore's letter to Vice President Joe Biden, I applaud him for taking a stand on behalf of the citizens of Humboldt County. Sometimes taking action before a nefarious bit of legislation becomes an actual law is better and smarter than waiting until it's too late. Once a law is passed, it's almost impossible to reverse or abolish it.

Gun control laws give the government more power

I commend Sheriff Kilgore for writing his letter to Vice President Joe Biden, but I don't believe that he should have had to. The constitution does not give the executive branch of the government the right to make law.
