Suicides and homicides have different causes and solutions. The number of guns in a community is not correlated with the number of suicides or homicides.

In 2025, and it appears likely in 2026, the murder rate in the USA was and will be at an all time low.
Unfortunately, Sandy Hook Promise is actively working to, “expand background checks on all firearm sales, pass temporary transfer orders, create secure

And the reality of nature.
Man is a wild beast and the façade of civilization only exists so long as we pretend does. When some among us revert to the wild state, it behooves the rest of us to be in possession of the tools necessary to restore that civility.
And I hope Dean Weingarten lives to be a hundred and twenty five. At least.

Is it Raciss if I point out that VSU is an HBU
Omitted from this excerpt is the fact that Virginia State University is one of the historically black schools. This was essentially an ordinary gang / ghetto shootout relocated to a “university” campus.
I didnt see mention that the shooter was not a student.
In fact only 1 of the 5 in the fracas was a student.
“MALICIOUS WOUNDING”
WHAT A DISTORTION OF PLAIN ENGLISH WORDS
Yes, right up there with “intentional owie”.
Iran has “gun control.”
They believe reality must conform to their fantasies, not vice versa.
