The one thing that I've learned, is that there is NO Argument that a loaded gun can't solve.
In this case, it appears that again, the gun owner won the argument, although perhaps he lost the war in the fact he is now dead.
I'm sure he loved his sons dearly, which is why he showed them how much, by putting bullets into their bodies.

(12,194 posts)Knowing that murder with a gun happens 10-ish thousand times annually in a nation where roughly 100 million people own roughly 300 million guns, how do you suggest that people who own guns but do not commit murder, and their guns, be dealt with?

(16,974 posts)That should not be the case. Of course murder is illegal, no matter the means used.

(18,318 posts)...that is the addenda pasted on by the author of the OP. I can't find any legal/constitutional right to murder, either.

Clearly not so much.

(17,502 posts)the difference is that all are classified as suicides, including the kids, and guns are not used.
I seriously doubt the lack of a gun would have made a difference.

(470 posts)of the exploiting of people's suicides to promote a political agenda, does my friends sucide by rope count? or my other friends overdose? when people are depressed and see no way out they usually resort to suicide. ive been in that dark place i know what its like, luckily i got help, i have a strong support group. you want to stop suicides, identify the causes not the tools.

(20,896 posts)how shooting someone = 2nd Amendment rights. I have read the Amendment very carefully and cannot find anything indicating it negates laws defining murder. If it does override such laws, why are so many people charged after shooting someone?

I treat my wife like Christ says.
That being said I also make sure I have the tools necessary should an emergency arise.
