2023: 63 people were injured or killed in 38 school shootings. 2024: As of September 4, 2024, 49 people have been injured or killed in 23 school shootings. Although these numbers are horrible, they are miniscle numbers compared to the crime and drugs created by our unsecured border.

Or as Chicagoans like to say: "That's just Tuesday in Chicago."

Because you take the RSO's out of the schools not safe . And to many schools are not doing enough to prevent these things from happening.

Stop calling them schools. And no, they are never safe so long as they're tax funded.

Your own safety is your own responsibility.

Most people already drive 75 MPH, at least. Trust the people.

A lot of people drive faster than the posted speed limit - 75 to 80 instead of 70. Increasing the speed limit will just push the actual travel rates higher - 80 to 85 instead of 75. With all of the heavy trucks on the road (some that drive slow), higher speeds are just dangerous.

Shelley Vansell

Drivers are already driving 5 to 10 miles over the current limits so if it's increased I'm pretty sure they'll exceed the new limits.
