Scenario A) Crazy gun-toting mother who thinks citizens deserve to have the right to keep and bear arms goes berzerk, kills husband then herself. We need to ban guns.
Scenario B) Woman afraid of abusive husband realizes that she needs to defend herself. She does her best, but in the end the guy gets her and then kills himself.
As far as I know (which is little) Scenario B is a lot closer to the truth -- but the media would sure love to see Scenario A.
So, yeah, it makes a difference who did the shooting.
I believe the reason they left out ‘who done it’ is they want us to assume she (the gun toting mom) did it. However, I agree with your ‘B’ scenario.
Scenario C) What if they both were licensed to carry, The anti gun folks will say there is a problem with the approval process.
