Bryco SUCKS! Cheap guns!!!

No one ever said that a background check will keep someone from committing murder or suicide. I suppose they would feel better if he has pusher his boss out a window & then jumped to his death?

Oh, yeah. This looks to be the next tactic of the anti-freedom crowd. This was reported locally at the top-of-the-hour news blurb on the San Francosco (conservative) radio station I listend to. The newsreader opened with "Are background checks enough?", then gave a brief description of the murder-suicide, and emphasized that the perp purchased the gun legally, passed the background check. Also emphased that it was a "small, cheap gun favored for self-defense". Junk gun alert!

Unfortunately, this man did not realize that under CAlifornia law, it was illegal for him to drive to her house with a loaded gun in his car. Why do murderers break gun laws? Why does the average Californian think that murderers will not break gun laws?

My, my, Lucy we sure have a lot of DNA researchers biting the dust in peculiar instances, don't we?

What kind of gun did victim Tanya Holzmayer not have?

The first rule of a gunfight is, have a gun. She was invited to one and didn't even realize it until she was nearly dead.

The seven-bullet clip still held six cartridges.

If only there were restrictions on magazines with capacities >10 rounds, this would have never happened.

Now isn't that special. Smells very fishy to me.

First of all, my recollection is that the Bryco .380 is 6+1 capacity. If the magazine has six rounds, it was loaded after it was last fired. Rather odd for a guy who just shot himself.

Even if the magazine had a seven-round capacity, it would be very odd for someone to reload the magazine after shooting someone and before shooting himself. Had he shot the gun dry into his victim and then reloaded before shooting himself that would be plausible, but if he'd shot the gun dry he would have had to load the magazine, chamber a round, remove the magazine, top it off, and then replace it. That really seems unlikely to me.

Either the media is misreporting something (no surprise there) or something really stinks in this case.
