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.

If he had bought a baseball bat or an axe would there be an outcry for a waiting period on those too?

Ah gee, guns and Wal-Mart—two of the left’s favorites to demonize.

How about a mandatory waiting period for butcher knives, or ice picks, or #2 pencils?

More wrong headed, fell-good liberal efforts that are wholly mis-directed. Punish us all...lower us all to the lowest common denominator. Then their liberal government can take care of us all...with all power.

This woman's only chance for survivial was to either be gone already from this guy, or to somehow defend herself against him.

Sue Wal-Mart, the gun manufacturer and the shot gun shell manufactuer, sue the gas station that sold him the gas to get to W-M and the car dealer who sold him his car. Hold everybody responsible except the nut who murdered his wife - it’s the American way.

Let’s see. First the guy went next door to see if he could borrow a shotgun from the neighbors. At 11 pm. He left empty-handed. Later, the neighbor expressed regret that she hadn’t warned the wife that crazy guy was out looking for a gun. Or called the cops to alert them. Sheesh.

But by all means let’s ban guns when we should be banning crazy guys, morons and not-my-problem neighbors.

sadly, this murder was committed before the jerk ever went to Wal-Mart.

WALMART made him shoot his wife in the back...not the fact that he’s a psycho coward.

He also could have probably killed her with no weapon at all.

"Man Who Killed Wife Bought Shotgun From Wal-Mart Hours Earlier"

See, finally the lefties have seen the light...

Guns don't kill people...

Wal-Mart Kills people...

(Well they are getting closer anyhow)

Wherever a murderer buys a firearm, the place of purchase will be publicized and attacked with propaganda, lawsuits and the like over it. And if the purchaser is a “male,” that will be publicized too, for feminism and to further deprive men of constitutional rights.

I guess if the only tool you have is a twelve gauge, everything looks like a woodchuck!

In Florida, there is a three-day waiting period for handguns, but there is no waiting period for long guns.

So what would they say if he shot her on the fourth day? What if he shot her on the first day after a two-week wait, after a one -month wait, after a . . .?

In addition, background checks are only required at federally-licensed gun stores. People buying firearms at gun shows and person to person are not subject to background checks.

What has that got to do with this tragedy, other than to cram in as much anti-gun B/S in as possible.

Yes 256 votes 48%
No 282 votes 52%

Funny how shootings and polls to ban/restrict gun ownership proliferate around election time.

Right.. nut case uses gun to kill, so all Americans should have their gun rights removed. Nut case pours gasoline over someone and sets them on fire, so all Americans should be banned from purchasing gas. Makes sense

As the Meathead said to Archie,”Guns are the number one cause of murder in this country!” and Archie replies to the Meathead,”Would you rather they be shoved out a window instead?”

It's a good thing the neighbor didn't have a shotgun to lend to the nut case husband. He might well have been made an accessory to 1st degree murder.

We have over 300 million people in the U.S. Even a tiny percentage of nut cases in a population that large is going to have plenty of bad news every day.
