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

yup... perhaps we should put a waiting period on blunt objects (a toaster), sharp objects (a pencil), flammable substances (gasoline), caustic substances (drain cleaner), objects suitable for strangulation (an extension cord)... hmm, what else, maybe potentially lethal projectiles (a baseball)? Ohh and don't forget, he could maybe drown her in a bucket of water.. better put a wait on that too!
In an obtuse way, this reminds me of Mugabe over in Zimbabwe combating that country's death-spiraling economy by making it illegal to raise prices- in other words, he banned inflation. Maybe one day the Left will just ban death altogether..?

I have plenty myself, as do the kids - and the wife.
They prefer the .22s and .223s. I like the bigger stuff.
We have a number of weapons per individual, adults and kids, in the house and none of them have run around outside shooting at people.
Both my guns and family :-).

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.
To: VeniVidiVici
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.

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.
