Treating mental illness and catching it early is particularly important in a State like ours that…Read More has concealed carry gun laws. If we look at the examples of murders in Virginia that were committed by people with concealed carry permits, we will see that they frequently involved the murder of family members. Perhaps early intervention and treatment might have saved lives in these cases. We know the chances of strengthening gun laws in Virginia are next to nil, so we had better start looking at ways to make sure that the people who legally have the guns are mentally and emotionally equipped to do so.

Excellent example regarding Cameron Station. The thinking was that the commercial strip would be…Read More supported by the residential areas within Cameron Station. It didn't really work.
