Family of 4 dies in Texas hotel shooting
A family of 4 dead. Mom shot her kids aged 5 and 10 and her husband.Then killed herself.
I wonder if those kids would still be alive if this woman found it difficult to get a gun ?
Is it just possible ?
She could have easily killed them driving into a bridge abutment.
Ban cars and bridges.
She could have easily killed them driving into a bridge abutment.
Yet that is not the method she chose. That she chose to shoot them is about as clear an indicator of the root problem with gun possession: guns are simply too convenient a means for effecting fatal harm to others.
Yes. She did choose to use a firearm.
That she chose to shoot them is a clear indication of a mental health issue.
Shooting someone with a firearm is convenient.
The firearms most of us own have never been used to fatally harm others.
Thomas has the belief that we should be disarmed.

I'm inclined to agree with that assertion; however, insofar as the Dickey Amendment prohibits the nation's foremost researchers from exploring the nature and extent to which that is indeed so, we just don't know whether it is or is not.
I have yet to hear any gun rights advocates advance proposals that one's right to exercise one's rights to lawful gun ownership and continued possession be predicated upon one's passing a mental stability examination. I mean really. How little concern must one have for the most basic wellbeing of others must one have to acknowledge the convenience factor and ascribe someone's murderous use of a gun to that factor combined with the person's being mentally unstable, yet reject/oppose initiatives that constrain gun possession to people who don't exhibit signs of any such instability?
The firearms most of us own have never been used to fatally harm others.
That can be said of every gun owner/possessor, until they do thus use a gun.
I'm in Maryland.
You must have a HQL to own or possess a firearm.
You must qualify or relinquish ownership.
If you have been voluntarily placed or placed into any mental health facility by a judge, for evaluation, you relinquish your right to own, possess or use a firearm.
Seems we have a method of disarming those who may be a threat.
How many criminals in Baltimore, Prince Georges County or any other jurisdiction are going to have their firearms denied to them by these laws?
Should only our 2nd amendments rights be based on certain criteria?
