NJ Domestic Violence - Son Kills Father

NJ.com reoprts:

A 23-year-old Willingboro resident was charged Sunday in connection with the fatal shooting of his father Saturday night inside the family's Peartree Lane home, according to the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office.

According to a statement from County Prosecutor Robert Bernardi, investigators believe that Christopher Hunter shot his father, 53-year-old Roderick Hunter, multiple times with a .38-caliber handgun just after a domestic dispute involving the two parties.
Not a mention of whose gun it was or whether it was legally owned.  I'd say it doesn't much matter if they were crack dealers, father and son, or if they were legitimate gun collecters. In the heat of an argument, the 23-year-old was aided in the rageful murder of his father by the availability of a gun.

Guns in the home are bad news for angry young men.

    Guns in the home are good news for responsible gun owners far more than they are bad news for angry young men.

    So why are you always calling attention to only the negative?

  2. Let me put it this way.

    Guns in the home are bad news for angry young men much more often than they are good news for responsible gun owners.

    We see it completely oppositely. We both have statistics and surveys that support our position. We both claim to strive to not let our prejudices influence our opinions.

    Nw what do we do?
