"Survey: Recent Gun Buyers in America Open to Political Violence"

A new survey of almost 13,000 Americans reveals that a significant number of recent gun purchasers and those who regularly carry loaded weapons in public are open to engaging in political violence, including shooting perceived opponents. The study, conducted by the University of California, Davis, found that the risk of violent behavior rose dramatically among certain subsets of gun owners, particularly those who purchased weapons since the disruptions of Covid in 2020 and those who often carry guns in public. The study's authors hope that their findings will guide preventive measures as federal and state officials brace themselves for potential political violence in the future.

"Study Shows Human Brains Growing Larger, Impact on Health and Intelligence Explored"

A study based on data from 3,000 participants has revealed that human brains, particularly those of Generation X, are increasing in size, which could potentially reduce the risk of dementia in younger generations. The research, led by the University of California Davis, found that factors such as health, social, cultural, and educational influences may contribute to this trend. The increased brain size is seen as a potential buffer against aging-related diseases, aligning with recent trends showing a decrease in dementia incidence in younger generations due to healthier lifestyles and upbringing.

"Former California College Student Deemed Incompetent for Trial in Deadly Stabbing Spree"

The criminal case against Carlos Dominguez, a former California university student accused of a deadly stabbing spree, has been put on hold after prosecutors agreed that he is currently incompetent to stand trial. Dominguez, who is charged with killing two people and injuring another, was found to be unable to understand court proceedings and assist in his own defense due to his mental condition. He will be sent to a state hospital until his competency is restored, at which point the trial will resume. Prosecutors dropped their challenge after new information emerged during the trial and the court ordered involuntary medication for Dominguez, who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia.
