Only taken aback by WHO had the gun - guns - people into explosive violent rages against others when pissed off or frustrated (even for little frustrations)as a normal way of coping. Rage-aholics I think is the trendy term. Serious domestic assault/violence, generally drunkenness involved, has happened there a number of times requiring police to come. Police also visited them in past searching for an acquaintance of theirs who was on the run, a "bad dude", I think for murder.

Well,last time you visited my place, you slept well even though you knew, and were shown, the "toys" which I legally own. Matter of fact, didn't I casually excuse myself, go outside and shoot a pesky squirrel?

Yuk. I forgot about the squirrel, but remembered about the bird

Thanks for the memories
Jon, apples and oranges here. You aren't like them. Big difference in who owns the gun and how they will use them. Guns not my issue, guns in the hands of people like this are. These are the kinds of people who make it hard for people like you, responsible gun owners, because when they lose it and shit happens because they used it violently against others in rage or to do a crime, so many people get in an uproar about banning all guns in an all-or-nothing paranoid action etc. I'm still surprized (and relieved) to know this at least was a suicide, not a murder, as was my immediate thought when the police told me what happened.
Apples and oranges.
