We could start off with having all knife owners go through the the most rigourous of criminal background checks.

As for the UVA murders one must note the killer, Christopher Jones, was known to school officials, and police, as usual. He also had 3 recent crimes he was convicted of but received suspended sentences.
University officials discovered that Mr. Jones previously had been tried and convicted of a misdemeanor concealed weapons violation in 2021, for which he received a 12-month suspended sentence and a small fine.”
Aren't suspended sentences contingent on a person not getting into any more trouble? If so how come he kept getting them? I believe the weapons violation was the last one, one of the others was reckless driving, I can't remember the 3rd.
Do note once again we have a gun law violation with no time served, why even have gun laws if they aren't enforced?
Also what happened to the good old fashioned fist fight? These were 3 college football players, and an ex teammate, been there done that.
Between that and High School I must have witnessed a dozen fights,
a couple in practice, a few before and after, and one football vs basketball player fight. No one used a weapon of any kind.
None of the fights were over hazing, bullying, or picking on someone, like people get shot for today. It was someone claiming a roommate stole something of theirs, guys fighting over playing time, or the affection of a cheerleader.
Those were the good ole days.

According to the internet hoplophobia is the “Irrational, morbid fear of guns.”

The better question is: Why have MORE gun laws when liberal lite-on-crime jurisdictions don't want to enforce the existing ones?

From a Cornell law website:
suspended sentence
In criminal law, a suspended sentence is an alternative to imprisonment where a judge may partially or entirely suspend the convicted individual's prison or jail sentence so long as they fulfill certain conditions. If the conditions are violated, then the state may petition to revoke the suspended sentence and reimpose the original term of the sentence by proving, in an evidentiary hearing and by a preponderance of evidence standard, that the defendant indeed violated the condition(s).
As I thought, and usually the conditions are staying clean, which this guy did not. I found the perp had 2 suspended sentences when he got the gun violation in 2021. Theoretically the judge could have nailed him for up to 3 years, by violating him on the suspended sentences, and giving him a year for the gun violation. If that was done his ass would have been in jail instead of
killing 3 young men with promising futures.

Because it's important to have gun laws that law-abiding citizens will obey.
Not so important to enforce the law on those who won't obey.
Whaddya think, Boxie?

There was another real doozy earlier this week in lite-on-crime LA where some guy mowed down 25 police cadets with his car, critically wounding several of them. Investigation showed the driver made no attempt at slowing down. No skid marks or anything. He just plowed into them at about 40 mph. When he appeared in court for a bail hearing, he was set free on his own recognizance. Godless liberals have lost all sense of justice.

Wow, they let him go because they did not have enough evidence within 48 hours to bring charges. No skid marks, on the wrong side of the road and blew a zero. What more evidence do you need?

How about attempted murder 25 times, and no bail.
"Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva says the crash that injured 25 law enforcement recruits in South Whittier Wednesday morning was not an accident.
“(Investigators) went through an exhaustive interview process with everyone involved, with the video surveillance statements from the recruits, the physical evidence they had, and what they got from the suspect himself. And they were able to form the opinion that this was a deliberate act,” Villanueva told NewsNation Thursday.
The driver, Nicholas Joseph Gutierrez, 22, was originally arrested for “attempted murder of a peace officer.” However, the sheriff’s department said he was released from custody Thursday due to insufficient grounds to file charges.
“Nicholas Joseph Gutierrez, 22, was released from police custody late Thursday — just hours after officials announced that he had been charged with attempted murder in connection with Wednesday’s devastating wrong-way wreck,” Fox News reported."

In which case, then, I think they wouldn't enforce new laws either on "those who won't obey". And that brings us back to my question.
