I have auto insurance with one of the major insurance companies and haven’t reported a claim in over 20 years, but every year the insurance rate goes up. This, to me, doesn’t seem fair but after giving much consideration I know why this happens. We with good driving records have to pay for others, and the beat goes on.

Wake up, people. You’re robbing our schools blind and our children are suffering. They’re the ones that are suffering. Greed has taken over.
There was another tragedy. We need laws enforced. We also need age requirements in all states raised to 21 to not only buy handguns but also rifles and shotguns. Schools need metal detectors at main entrances and all other access points locked. While at a university for a basketball game, I noticed campus police vehicles parked but did not see officers touring open areas. How did Nikolas Cruz enter school grounds and buildings in Florida with a rifle and no one spotted him? . . . Public and private gun sales must require individuals to have proof of being at least age 21.
We’ve had another senseless school shooting in Parkland, Florida. Everybody knew everything about the shooter but nothing was done. All they know is talking about gun control. Again, it’s the shooters not the guns.
