Yes, ANOTHER case of domestic violence. Another case of a lawful gun owner gone bad. Perhaps another case of a concealed carry permit holder gone bad. No one is checking, which is why all those stats the pro-gun folks like to throw around about how safe gun owners are and how rare it is for a CCW guy to commit a crime are worthless. No one is checking.Police in northeastern Pennsylvania are investigating a shooting that left two people dead and wounded a third as a murder-suicide.Authorities say 56-year-old Rodney Ezrapour apparently fatally shot 29-year-old Kristina Sue Adams at a home in Damascus Township, Wayne County, and wounded another man.An official determination hasn't been reached but Wayne County District Attorney Janine Edwards says it appears Ezrapour died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Edwards says the incident appears to be a case of domestic violence.
One thing we should be able to agree upon, even if we can't agree on the solution, is that too many unfit and dangerous people have access to guns.
Perhaps we should change the famous adage, guns are bad news for women, to guns are bad news, period.
What's your opinion? Please leave a comment.
I pray the prayer of St Gunsel: May all the front row seats of the next mass murder be filled with the wives, mistresses and children of NRA members.
ReplyDeleteYou sir should seek help. I'm being serious here. Normal people don't walk around having thoughts like this. Please for your sake, the sake of your family, and those around you, go seek treatment.
DeletePerhaps he had a subscription to National Geographic. Perhaps he was a licensed massage therapist. Perhaps he was a psychologist. No one is checking. Mikeb, your speculations are worthless.

ReplyDeleteGuns are good news for women who use them to defend themselves. Many women are at a serious physical disadvantage when men attack them. Firearms pretty much eliminate that physical disadvantage.
There are news stories and examples where women have used firearms to defend themselves. Go to YouTube and search for examples. Here are a couple:

You're right. There are some cases in which the gun saves the day, but they're few and far between and not nearly enough to make up for the terrible losses.
DeleteWe've discussed this at length. You reject our numbers, and we reject yours. But even in the lowest reasonable estimates of defensive gun uses, those still are several times the number of illegal homicide due to guns.
DeleteThe "lowest reasonable estimate of defensive gun uses" is mine: 500.
DeleteThe number five hundred is yours. Calling it reasonable is also yours alone. No one else gives that low a number, and I've seen no one who agrees with it.
