So, if he didn’t get a gun, he would have bought a knife.

Or a screwdriver.

Or a nailgun.

Or a shovel.

Or a brick.

Or run her over with his car.

The gun did not kill the woman. The man operating the gun killed her.

yup... perhaps we should put a waiting period on blunt objects (a toaster), sharp objects (a pencil), flammable substances (gasoline), caustic substances (drain cleaner), objects suitable for strangulation (an extension cord)... hmm, what else, maybe potentially lethal projectiles (a baseball)? Ohh and don't forget, he could maybe drown her in a bucket of water.. better put a wait on that too!

In an obtuse way, this reminds me of Mugabe over in Zimbabwe combating that country's death-spiraling economy by making it illegal to raise prices- in other words, he banned inflation. Maybe one day the Left will just ban death altogether..?

And bath tubs. Drew Peterson’s third wife was killed in/with a bath tub.

He was going to kill her, one way or the others. He wanted her dead, and the method didn't matter.

Exactly.
