I just love the way the bottom of the article tries to pooh-pooh the concern of the citizens, claiming that most of the crime is gangbanger-on-gangbanger. What world is that reporter living in? People are buying guns and putting in for CCWs because A) they don't trust Obama not to try and ban firearms outright or put in a new Slick Willy Gun Ban severely limiting what private citizens are allowed to own; B) they are becoming aware that when seconds count, the police are only minutes away; and C) that it is a dangerous world out there, so you had best be prepared to take care of yourself.

One thing the article did not mention was the possible 2012 End of Days scenario. I'm surprised the reporter didn't try and bring that in.

Exclamation 191,000 Un-Lost Souls

GGReporter: Sir, those are powerful numbers. Just imagine how stupid 191,000 residents have become
Compared to this all knowledgeable "Brian Lee". Un fathomable, how these poor souls were even able to drive themselves to Wal-Mart for chocolate chip cookies

The fact that this article originates in Mass. isn't wasted on me. With their 1st hand experiences with romney in a leadership roll, I'm sure many of them are painfully aware of the lose/lose outcome that obummer vs. romney offers us in Nov.....
