Reducing social isolation also reduces gun deaths.

A New Crisis of Cuban Migration
The longstanding policy of treating Cuban migrants differently from other Latin Americans is outdated and untenable.Hispanic refugees of any nationality are not a problem.
We do not need to stop them beyond the U.S. border.
The U.S. should do what it can to change the conditions that send them.

How Many Mass Shootings Are There, Really?
The frequently repeated statistic of 355 this year is distorting our understanding of these killings.Not that many.
There is no certified data set.
A certified data set is unlikely as long as the Republican party can prevent them.

Opinion
The Horror in San Bernardino
Yet another mass shooting underlines the need for sensible controls on gun sales across America.Aggressive mental health care would destroy personal liberty.
It would remove freedom of religion.
It would end freedom of thought and speech.
A crime is and should continue to be an act.
We must allow people to act.
We can slow their actions.
