It was reported in the regional media on Friday (before this incident) that she had obtained a restraining order against him.

Of course she had obtained the order against him in February, according to this report. At that point, he was supposed to be gunless. I wonder who didn't see to it he had turned them all in?

Since we have this law requiring the preemptive disarmament of unconvicted subjects of restraining orders, and as long as we have such laws, they must apply to everybody. It's been said somewhere that police officers, as a group, are three times as likely to commit a felony sometime in their life as the general population, and that they are much more likely to be involved in domestic violence, so if it ought apply to anybody...

Maybe courts ought to direct a search of cops' person and property at the moment a restraining order is served, since it's well known that virtually 100% of them have gunz. This is not the first time this has happened, and after Friday's report, I must say what happened Saturday does not surprise me.

To expand on what I posted there, I think it's possible this law itself is a factor contributing to the occurrence of some of the shootings.

It always goes to show you that idiots like yourself never pass up the opporunity to turn the sarcasm on. Why don't you worry about the wife and her children before you go ranting and raving about gun laws that aren't even close to being repealed.. flippin moron.. go fly a kite..

In civilized countries, people use knives. This is very sad, but it appears to be one of those universal bits of human nature.
