I kept hearing all over the radio today that if the FB player hadn't had the gun, they would have BOTH been alive. We do not know that. Period. He could have used a sharp knife from the kitchen, a blunt object, whatever, to kill the GF. And who is to say that he wouldn't have maybe gotten drunk, and decided to drive on the wrong side of the wrong road to do himself in - or some other way of taking himself out that might involve others.

Blaming this solely on guns is the wrong tack to take. It's domestic violence. Add that the fellow was an NFL player, and the history of pro sports players going bad...to say this is all about guns ignores a whole lot of other things.
