People tend to feel confident about their SAFETY until something happens to THEM. Then it is a whole different world. For example, that representative in Maine changed his mind about assault weapons when there was a murder rampage in HIS district. I, personally, had over $1,000 worth of tools stolen several years ago as my house was broken into. Police investigated and came up with ZERO.
.......That was years ago and today crime has increased in The Villages. Believe me, you do NOT forget it when your home is burglarized. And it could have been worse if we were there at the time. People that have NEVER had a home break-in are a little too quick to dismiss the NEED for more POLICE by saying things like "nanny state", which makes no sense to me. More Police and equipment would not affect the law-abiding citizen, just the law-breaking ones that take advantage of The Villages being a "soft target".
