You're still assuming that homicides are replacing assaults.

That's one possible explanation, but there isn't nearly enough information in the chart above to conclude that. An alternative explanation could just be that Covid made people stay inside, and that assaults happen more to strangers on the street while homicide happens more often between people who know each other and who spend lots of time together indoors.

Spending more time indoors could explain those trends just as easily as increased gun ownership. There isn't enough info in the chart above to tell which of those factors is having an impact.

I spend about $100 a week at Trader Joe’s but it’s pretty much the same unaspiring shopping list every week of yogurt, 4-5 vegetables to roast, a bag of fruit, and two proteins to meal prep. I am in no way a chef.

On occasion though I go to Harris Teeter for more pantry items like the frozen veggies, canned soups, etc.

Oh fuck that. DC has what? 3 or 4 VI programs with millions in funding and guess what? They shoot each other So yes to other approaches BUT DONE THE RIGHT WAY. Not money pits for buddies. Actual pay for performance efforts with clear data feedback and willingness to chop it down if it sucks (like currently) You need carrots but you need stick too
