Two people were killed and five others were injured Tuesday after a suspect opened gunfire near Virginia Commonwealth University following a high school graduation ceremony.

We all knew this would happen somewhere in the country. I predict more of these "graduation" attacks this year.

They better hurry, then.

My niece out in California graduated on 21 May. New England tends to graduate later than the rest of the country, and most New England high schools graduated over the past two weeks.

Well, I like to be proven wrong.

Now, onto attacking vacation spots!
 
The shooters went there with the intent to kill. They accomplished that. Premeditated all the way. Why not first degree murder?
 
Amari Ty-Jon Pollard needs to sit in the angry chair.

In addressing the media Tuesday evening, Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears spoke of "gang activities"and "criminal activities" permeating the city of Richmond.

"This is not about law-abiding gun owners. This is about gangs," the Republican said, pushing back against those calling for tighter gun control.

"Who is in charge? Is that the mayor? Is that the chief?" she added, referring to Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney, a Democrat, and Edwards. "I mean, let’s start naming names," she said.

No limits on hood bangers fulfilling gang orders for a hit. The only true deterrent is said banger suddenly staring down the barrel of a situationally aware conceal carry armed bystander .
 
How did a 19 year-old 'legally' purchase a handgun? lack of sufficient laws is not our problem. It's scumbags who don't obey laws that are the problem. If laws worked to prevent crime, the simple one banning assault is all we'd have ever needed.
