Terrible news, but the murder rate in Virginia 50% less than it was in 1996.
So whatever problem we have, in the last 20 years it has got much much better.

It's still still double or triple the rate in most European country, and any reduction is hardly solace for the families of today's victims, but still, there may be light at the end of the tunnel. Or is that just the glow of hell on the horizon? :shrug:

You are right on the money, makes too much sense.

Between 2007 and 2013, however, the rate of active shooter incidents per year in the US has increased.[13][14] Hand guns figured in the Virginia Tech massacre, Binghamton shootings, 2009 Fort Hood shooting, Oikos University shooting, and 2011 Tucson shooting. The Aurora theater shooting and the Columbine High School massacre were committed by assailants armed with multiple weapons.

That's the popular talking point, but I know better. The data speaks for itself...Japan is uberrestrictive on guns, so very few are legally owned. Not surprisingly, there is almost no gun violence...
