A new study has found that the number of firearm injuries in the US decreases dramatically during National Rifle Association conventions, casting doubt on the claim that most gun injuries are caused by inexperienced users. Researchers from Harvard Medical School and Columbia University reviewed 10 years of data on emergency department visits and hospitalizations during the NRA’s convention dates, as well as the three weeks before and three weeks after. The finding contradicts many gun advocates’ argument that firearm injuries are caused by poorly trained users.

A college has been forced to take legal action after a former student has refused to move out of her dorm room for two years. Lisa S Palmer, 32, enrolled in classes at Hunter College in New York to pursue a geography major in 2016 - but dropped out of classes shortly after moving into the dorms. According to an eviction lawsuit filed by the school, the former student refuses to move out of Room E579 in the college’s co-ed dormitory, located on 25th street - and has ignored numerous notices informing her her occupancy has been terminated.
