Citing “gun violence,” the University of Virginia has canceled the 21-gun salute portion of its Veterans Day ceremony, an annual tradition that dates back at least a decade.

In a statement posted to social media on Saturday, university President James Ryan stated the reason was two-fold: “to minimize disruptions to classes, given that this event is located at the juncture of four primary academic buildings and is held at a time that classes are in session; and second, recognizing concerns related to firing weapons on the Grounds in light of gun violence that has happened across our nation, especially on school and university campuses.”

According to the local ABC news affiliate WHSV, the annual ceremony “marks the conclusion of a 24-hour vigil by ROTC cadets and has included the 21-gun salute for more than a decade,” but

Virginia needs to change it's slogan from "Virginia is for lovers" to "Virginia is for Dingbats" because this is just so stupid (and disrespectful to our Veterans)...

UVA needs to get rid of their violent two-swords logo and replace it with a rainbow, or two pansies.

Every state is lined up for this transformation. If they can turn Virginia blue, they can do it to any state.

"It’s starting folks, new Blue state regs."

Just wait until the special legislative session votes for lots of gun control measures including confiscating those scary black rifles, with the help of the week kneeded, collaborationist VA GOP.

Hey UVA, are any of your students planning on serving in the military? If not, STFU.

I'd suggest "Virginia is for Morons" or "Virginia is for People Who Can't Understand Numbers". (Admittedly the latter doesn't roll easily off the tongue, so maybe the former.)

Virginia is headed to third-world sh*thole status. No way to avoid it with the entire state now in the "blue" column.

This cancellation of the 21-gun salute for the Veterans Day celebration is just the beginning.

The blackface governor has promised Red Flag laws and confiscation of citizen's guns are first up on the agenda.

The beginning of the end for Virginia.
