Reasonable regulations could keep at least some felons, mentally challenged and untrained from possessing guns. Universal background checks and red flag laws would help. My last two background checks took just 15 and 5 minutes to complete. Only criminals need to fear background checks.

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.
