A broad sweep led to about 50 arrests, seizing 20 guns and large quantities of heroin and fentanyl in Charleston, Berkeley and Dorchester counties. Officials call for continued action while urging holistic solutions like prescription monitoring, expanded treatment and Narcan training for officers.
Columnist Susan Stamper Brown argues Democrats shout about care after mass shootings but fail to offer real solutions. She contrasts reactions to Las Vegas with NRA funding figures, cites Chicago violence, and questions motives behind gun politics and moral narratives.
A letter from Ronald L. Feller of Aiken argues that the Founders built the Second Amendment to defend militias, not individual self defense. He urges revisiting its purpose to allow progress on gun ownership, focusing on collections, sport, hunting, and personal protection.
