"...agreed to move out of her daughter's apartment...Then she shot and killed her daughter and her daughter's fiance -- my brother David."

An "elderly" woman moved out of her daughter's apartment? Why, was her daughter and her husband cruel to her? Why would and elderly woman move outta an apartment unless there was some sort of conflict between her and her daughter and / or her husband?

Why did she shoot both of them? Something doesn't add up.

"...gun violence...gun manufacturers' liability...manufacturers for negligence..."

"gun violence"

First off, how about violence itself, be it gun, knife, auto, baseball bat, frozen turkey's, pushing off a cliff, drowning, etc., etc., etc? By singling out only violence by someone using (or misusing) a gun, is IMHO condoning all other forms of violence.

"...gun manufacturers' liability...manufacturers for negligence..."

I work as a mechanic and if I do something stupid like drop a hammer on my foot or burn myself on an exhaust manifold. I don't sue the company that manufactured the hammer or sue the company that manufactured the exhaust manifold, no I call myself a schmuck hobble over to the bench and take care of the problem. I never had and never will sue anyone or any company because of an act of stupidity that I and I alone am responsible.

Today we have people suing companies for all sorts of ridiculous reasons. If say Glock had manufactured a weapon with serious defects in it and it exploded in someones face maiming or killing them, then yes I say say sue the hell outta them. However, if one were to look down the barrel of a fully loaded weapon with ones finger on the trigger and the weapon goes off, then its the fault of the imbecile that had possession of said weapon.

I say if this yoyo truely believes that all guns are evil, then she shouldn't be a hypocrit. Hang one of these signs up in her yard or on the door of her apartment.

Five years ago an elderly Los Angeles woman who had agreed to move out of her daughter's apartment bought a handgun.

This sentence says more that the rest of the article. Before a gun was purchased there were already issues with this old lady and her daughter. The cause of death was gunshot, the reason was the old lady or the daughter was mentally ill. Without a gun, the old lady might have just torched the joint with the daughter in it.

This isn't gun violence, but the violence of the mentally ill that we have let out since the Community Mental Health Services act of 1963.
