Richmond "Gun Violence" Up
A recently released report evaluating the federally funded Project Safe Neighborhoods program in Virginia suggests that gun violence has risen steadily in Richmond since 2000.
The report, completed in January, also suggests that nearly two-thirds of Richmonders do not feel safer today than they did five years ago. And it concludes that six out of 10 city dwellers don't believe the aggressive media campaigns to raise awareness on gun violence have prevented people from carrying illegal firearms.

Hoplophobe Home Care to Elderly Gun Owners: Suffer and Die For All We Care
A Nova Scotia woman with multiple sclerosis has lost her home care after a single incident of her husband forgetting to store his rifle in a gun cabinet...
Northwood Home Care hasn’t been back since.
Spokesman John Verlinden said it doesn’t matter that the homeowner’s guns are registered, or that the rifle’s trigger lock was on.
"Any risk where a home support worker feels it is an unsafe environment or there is some risk for them, that would trigger an assessment," he said.
If the guns are removed, the homecare company would carry out a fresh assessment, and consider starting up service again.
What a nice company.
