Does anyone know about the plan adopted by the LV City Council which includes the equestrian park? If you are not familiar with it, here is the link. http://www.lasvegasnevada.gov/files/FloydLambParkBrochure.pdf. Show jumping - just about the most dangerous sport in the world. Wonder if there will be a cause of action against the City when one of those high-powered rifles goes off just as a rider is attempting a high fence. It never ceases to amaze me what total lack of consideration shooters, ATV, motorcycle riders, and others who drive loud trucks, have for hikers, walkers, equestrians and cyclists. On another note, the shooting range has decimated the natural beauty of the mountainside - one of the prettiest places in the entire Las Vegas bowl. Shame on all of you selfish people who pushed this project in this location.

The communist gun nuts would have nothing less for their socialist, government gun park.

Neighborhood Police Watch wrote on May 13, 2009 02:50 PM: hat trick,

The democrats weren't voted in because they would ban guns, they were voted in for HOPE AND CHANGE which isn't coming and was just an illusion to suck in the poor ignorant people who were desperate for anything other than BUSH AND CHENEY. Maybe you should do your homework on the House and the Senate because in case you don't know it there are many Blue Dog Democrats who feel just as strong as the Republicans about keeping their guns. They also aren't crazy about national health care and so on. I have to laugh every time the fox noise crowd goes crazy over the count of 60 democrats in the Senate. I can tell you from years in the political arena that you couldn't get 60 democrats to agree on anything. In the area of keeping their troops in line the republicans win hands down even if it means sinking the country as they have done the past 8 years.

But make no mistake the democrats are all over the map and couldn't find their way home if the street was in front of them.

Rest easy everyone because no one is in charge! And believe me they might try to take our guns but that will never happen. As for the homeless most of the people democrat or republican could careless. The democrats help defeat the bill that would have allowed the bankruptcy judges to re-write house loans to keep families from being homeless!

If I have said once I've said it a hundred times there is not one dime of difference between the two parties. They are strictly cash and carry.

Steve T wrote on May 13, 2009 02:43 PM: I am a gun owner and a member of the NRA. My point is why are we spending tax payer dollars...$64 million to start with, right now on this project when UMC has to shut down its outpatient cancer center, teachers in this town get paid poverty wages,and state an local governments are cutting back on necessary services. If you want this park fine, just pay for it.

We can’t get anyone to go to the liberal feel good, environmentally correct Springs preserve that is actually somewhat centrally located. Your idea would not work in any way and would be expensive, your assumptions are also wrong

no Water shortage, (I guess Lake Mead is full)

2900 acres of precious public land is just that whether it is in the Lake Mead area or on the way to Indian Springs

miniscule percentage (sorry but this is just a false statement, do some research)

ideal for a "Central Park" as in New York (you want a central park outside the main radius of the city, not within walking distance of most residents and about a one hour drive from the airport, why would anyone go there?)

some great ideas john, vote democrat much?
