You should be thankful. When I was a kid, Houston was like that. Nobody locked their doors and even left their keys in their cars. There are still small towns everywhere like that but they are getting to be fewer and fewer.

We Fairfielders have no reason to think like this. We do not have "home invasions." I often don't even lock my house at night.

A home invasion threatening your family. It's a pretty common experience where I live. Oh I know, call the police, that's what they are for. That doesn't do you any good if response time is several minutes at best. Then there are common burglaries where people come home to find the burglar in their home. Armed robberies in businesses. Yeah, their are plenty of reasons to own a gun and know how and when to use it. We are definitely never going to agree on this subject but I'll say one last thing. Guns are creating more problems than solutions. They allow cowardice and paranoia to become even more lethal. They allow crazy people, angry people and cowardly people to use lethal force any time they want to. We are all at risk every day of our lives from something. I can guarantee you that if no one carried or possessed a gun (an impossible scenario at this point) there would be far less fear everywhere. Baseball bats and fists are preferable.

A guy shoots dead nine people in a church and a governor says, take down a flag! We need drastic gun control now! This is a serious civil rights issue. The gun nuts may rant about their 2nd Amendment rights, but their precious 2nd Amendment is dripping in blood and has been for a long time. What about my rights as an ordinary citizen to walk the streets, go to the mall, go to church, without the fear of getting shot? We need a mass, citizens-inspired movement that will make the government fulfill its responsibilities to protect our safety. No guns for anyone unless they have a very compelling reason to own one. There is no compelling reason to own a gun unless you live in the wilderness and need to hunt game for food. Period. Guns are for cowards. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mjackson74@...> wrote : Can't believe Haley did it, but apparently she did Haley of South Carolina Calls for Removal of Confederate Battle Flag | | | | | | | | | | | Haley of South Carolina Calls for Removal of Confederate...Gov.
