    We had a very sad situation here. A 70 year old man unemployed looking at losing his house,
    shot and killed his common law wife then himself. Desperate people do desperate things.
    It is desperate times.

    I heard today about the new stricter laws for Colorado being passed by their Senate
    heading now to the House.
    The law stating those convicted of domestic violence will not be able to own a gun.
    One would think that would be in place already not that it will do much good.
    Someone who beats the crap out of women and kids will just find an illegal gun.

    These are the stories that get me. The "responsible gun owner" who is responsible right up until the moment when they are not.

    Nothing to do with responsibility in my eyes. Maybe you wouldn't take your life at the end
    when you hit rock bottom, too responsible for that but I understand how he felt.
    I see the option. This world must be looking incredibly disappointing to our elderly.

    But he didn't just take his own life. He killed his wife as well. Now, maybe they had some suicide pact but that is not usually how this story goes.

    Yes we don't know for sure except they were in life very much together the neighbors said.
    A loving couple. I feel in the midst of these times its important to understand why people are
    choosing to do what they are doing. I'm going to remember this man as a responsible loving
    person tired and disappointed deserving better.
    Off topic maybe from what gimme posted but behind each of those stories in his link
    is more than just a gun.
