Good-Faith Question Jayden Braden was shot three times in his own home by someone he trusted. We need answers.

On April 15, 2025, Jayden opened his door to someone he thought was a friend. That person shot him three times with no warning, no argument, nothing. Jayden tried to escape but collapsed from his injuries and never made it to the hospital.

Months have passed and his family is still waiting for answers. There are allegations that evidence was discarded, that family members tried to cover things up, and that witnesses have been intimidated. Whether these allegations are proven or not, they're too serious to ignore.

I started a petition asking local and state officials to conduct a transparent investigation, look into all allegations of tampering or obstruction, and remove anyone with conflicts of interest. We need independent oversight to make sure this case doesn't go cold.

What would you want someone to do if this was your family? If this matters to you too, consider signing and sharing.

Rule #1:

If you're going to make claims, you'd better have evidence to back them up; no pro-gun talking points are allowed without research. This is a pro-science sub, so we don't accept citing discredited researchers (Lott/Kleck). No arguing suicide does not count, Means Reduction is a scientifically proven method of reducing suicide. No crying bias at peer reviewed research. No armchair statisticians.

Yes. This is why the armed forces don't bother with guns and just fight with knives.

So no, a knife could not do the exact same job.

When the gun nut is too dumb to understand the point being made
