Yes, in fact, your "leaders" are doing too much. This isn't a gun problem. This isn't a crime problem. It's a money problem. Poor people commit violent crimes. Solve the money problem, solve the, well, everything else.

More money equals more guns.

Because it continues to happen regularly. Too many times they lack suspects or leads. They lack community trust.

They are, however spending too much time luring homeless people to the city.

As we can already tell, the orange shirt campaign is really working this week to curb crime and gun violence. So glad they came up with that idea!

This has become such a regular occurrence that we have started avoiding going shopping in Columbia. Instead driving to Moberly. There seems to be more daytime incidents than ever before. The criminals seem emboldened by the lack of police presence.

We need more police and fewer guns and more politicians who don't fear the NRA.

We already have too many democrats that are trying to crush the second amendment along with the rest of the Bill Of Rights, and the entire Constitution.

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.

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.

The Democratic Party is pushing hateful rhetoric, like calling Trump supporters "fascist" and "nazi" to drive people to violence and cause a color revolution. This must stop.

Trump has called Democrats “scum,” “vermin,” “animals” and “enemies of the people.” When U.S. Rep. Pelosi’s 82-year-old husband was bludgeoned with a hammer by a deranged man, Trump joked about it.

'This Is A Both Sides Issue,' Says Side That Shot President Trump, Assassinated Charlie Kirk, Tried To Assassinate Kavanaugh, Tried To Shoot Trump Again, Shot Steve Scalise, Firebombed Governor Shapiro, Tried To Shoot Trump A Third Time..." Babylon Bee - but true.
