It's a very common scene. A well-armed man goes off the deep end and no one expected it.
How can we predict that, they ask. How could it be prevented? It's not rocket science to conclude that fewer guns would have an immediate impact on these spontaneous incidents, the crimes of passion and many of the suicides.
What's your opinion? Doesn't this case call into question Lott's contention that more guns equals less crime?

Ronning Arms in Modesto
Mercury News reports on the extremely rare happening.
What's rare is not the fact that an FFL guy was doing this, but that the ATF got their act together enough to catch him.
And what about the business? You can't let a gold mine like a gun shop go belly up just because the owner and some of the employees where doing some dirty business. You need to find a close friend or relative to take it over, that's what they do in Wisconsin and Washington state anyway.
What's your opinion? Are unscrupulous FFL guys one of the main sources of guns in the criminal world? Aren't they often the last legitimate owner of a particular gun used in crime or found in Mexico?

He was arrested Thursday in connection to a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives investigation that began in February 2009 and led to the seizure of drugs and weapons, some of them from Ronning Arms.
After the arrest of the initial targets, undercover agents bought silencers, assault weapons and a machine gun from Ronning himself.

Another DGU Gone Awry.
What do we call this one - another ill-prepared and untrained concealed carry guy who made things worse?
Probation for Shooting
Does it sometimes seem that in Texas there's a big disparity in the sentencing of one case compared to another. Here's a case in point.
