Guns SquareOffs

I think they need to implement a 10pm curfew for minors and a 1:00am curfew for adults the only way you’re on Columbia streets is if you are at work or traveling to or from work. And the parents of minors caught out after the curfew should have steep penalties up to even jail.

If you need to poll this question, then you're clueless.

I am a former resident of Columbia. I now live near Tulsa. Tulsa has set a curfew downtown for minors. It's sad that government has to assume the responsibilities of absent or clueless parents!

They should explore curfews, but I can guess that Columbia will hire outside consultants for $200,000, create a committee to design signage (lbtgq++ approved, of course). Then figure out without real consequences, curfews just scatter the cockroaches to somewhere else in Columbia.

Because now everyone is so scared that no one will stand up for themselves and there property. Instead we watch them through cameras steal and damage our property. The main reason for the massive crime is that no one will do anything and the criminals know it.

Because violence of every stripe has increased in Las Cruces over the last 16 years. It is a gun, it's a knife, it's a carjacking, stolen vehicle and the list goes on. Las Cruces, in my opinion, is becoming a very unsafe community. However, my gratitude still goes out to the LCPD and Chief Story.

New Mexico in general is a very dangerous state. Either the laws are too lax, or the police aren’t up to snuff. Or perhaps both.

I lived there in the 60s and 70s when Las Cruces still had a genuine small-town vibe. I still get little hints of that when I go to my old neighborhood, but for the most part 'Cruces has turned into a sprawling, sweltering suburb of El Paso.
