No, but they weren't killed by anything else.
And yet thousands are every year.
Ok, you win
(Dont you think the media would have said - Murdered with an unlicensed firearm.. they are very quick to point at illegal dealings)
Actually, they tend to point out when a firearm is licensed rather than the reverse.
make is so kuk that no-one will want to own one.
They've been trying. Periodic renewal is part of the licensing system already, as are pretty much all of the measures you mentioned. Guess what, people are feeling threatened enough that they'll jump through the hoops anyway.
He used his own gun : Gun Control Failure
He stole a gun : Gun Control Failure
He bought a gun : Gun Control Failure
He got a friend to help : Murder & Gun control failure
Exactly - gun control failure. It's impossible to implement a system whereby no illegal guns are available, and sometimes the tests used by the CFR fail as well. That's a problem with the system, not with legal gun owners.
We'll never know, 'cos in your world its so easy to get a gun and pull the trigger six times.
Where do you live that it's easy to get a legal firearm? Of course illegal firearms are difficult.
What is too much trouble? using a knife? killing six people while they tried to fight you off? .. or
Point n Click?
I cant say what he was thinking - but people thinking that the 'Gun' is a easy solution to a problem is part of THE PROBLEM.
Maybe he would have walked out on his family? Maybe he would have thought of other avenues to help his pain? There are lots of maybe's... but HE thought a 'The Gun' was the answer.
Do you really think he is going to hack his family up with a panga and then club himself to death
You're going to tell me it'll be difficult for a fully grown man to overpower three children, his wife and a bedridden elderly woman, one at a time?
Even you admit that HE thought the gun was the answer. Hence the problem is with him, not with the firearm.
Yes, people have hacked up family members and then committed suicide... gassing yourself in a car, jumping from a bridge, walking into traffic.
This is my point... there are lots of responsible gun owners ... but the laws are not stopping the psycopaths getting them either! They are totally Inadequate!
There are way more responsible gun owners than irresponsible ones, and you cannot use a single case to justify the confiscation and denial of arms. Otherwise I could state the same using the many cases of family killings by police, and the police officer who on sunday shot four of his friends because he was frustrated after an argument with his neighbour. Ban police from having firearms!
The laws are adequate, but are being badly enforced. Laziness is not an excuse to permit a total ban.
You're arguing from emotion again, ignoring fact. Unfortunately, lives saved by firearms are far less sensational and grisly than lives ended with the same.
