sorry if this was already posted

 

What I liked about it: all high profile crime involving firearms concerns me with these bills floating around in the State House

this guy sounds like he wasn't legally allowed to have firearms, from what I read he was a sex offender.

I pray to God those kids come out of this ok.

That wouldn't surprise me.  All of these mis-guided politicians are proposing new laws that will impact legal gun owners, when they don't enforce the existing laws that might have saved the life of this woman.  I see no real end to this ball busting.

over 3 kids safe,

"Murphy had a long criminal history including convictions for aggravated assault and criminal conspiracy, Bocchini said. He had previously been arrested for robbery and weapons offenses and child endangerment. He also had an arrest warrant in Pennsylvania for failing to register as a sex offender."

 

 

Guy should have been in jail with that type of history. They should focus on enforcing existing laws and proper punishment before they go after law abiding citizens with "feel good" legislation.

Oh how true...it all comes down to keeping the shitbags in rather than trying to rehab them.
