that he has the right to say what he wants, but i think he is wrong. I also think you are wrong, we have had surging gun sales in this country in the past 6 or 7 years. This man shot his girlfriend 9 times, he is like 6'2 and 260lbs, he could have strangled her, stabbed her, beat her, he obviously wanted her dead, let's not forget OJ Simpson did not need a gun to do what he did!
