Feeling Safer In PA?

Back in August I posted twice about gun control (once about gun nuts protesting President Obama in Arizona and a follow-up about Travel Guru Arthur Frommer recommending tourists avoid Arizona because of their lack of gun control). There was no actual violence mentioned in either post, just the potential.

Unfortunately, this article is all about violence. It seems that Melanie Hain was a major gun proponent, and once made her point by carrying a loaded gun to her daughter's soccer game. And Melanie Hain is now dead, apparently at her husband's hand.

A soccer mom who gained national attention when she openly carried a loaded gun to her 5-year-old daughter's game was shot dead Wednesday along with her husband in what appeared to be a murder-suicide, police said.

So this 31 year old mother of three was having "marital trouble" for about a week and things spiraled out of control. It seems to me that a week or two of marital problems shouldn't end up with two coffins and three orphaned children.

Oh right, except for those guns the couple loudly insisted on having in their lives. They proved to be a convenient and effective way to end the "marital trouble." Permanently.
