Here’s the point. Sure, pretty much anything can be used to kill. But, there’s a huge difference between, say, marshmallows (which could be used to asphyxiate someone, if enough were crammed down a victim’s throat and nose) and handguns. The purpose of marshmallows and most of the other things created by mankind is to satisfy some need/want that has nothing whatsoever to do with killing others. The only purpose of handguns is to kill, and they do that exceedingly well. There’s your big difference, geniuses.

Be honest. You wouldn’t want someone who is angry, depressed, psychopathic, vengeful, psychotic, sadistic, high on drugs/alcohol, etc. anywhere near a gun while in your or your parents, sibling, child, wife, friend, etc. presence. Well, guess what? I don’t want that either and the best way to prevent that is to ban all handguns, (semi)automatics and high-capacity ammo dispensers.

It’s amazing how easily some people are willing to surrender other peoples rights.

I think you are the first person on PFT to get one of their quotes into my Great Quotes file. Excellent observation.

Personally, I’m waiting for the lawsuit to be filed against the police by the baby’s guardians. After all, for every tragedy, there must be someone with deep pockets to sue.

Does being stinking drunk make you want to pump nine bullets into your girlfriend? Usually not, but the cops still had procedures to follow and it appears doubtful that they followed them…

Chasing down 2 grown men and stabbing both of them to death > shooting a woman running for you

And that’s why Baltimore will always be the murder capital of the world and maybe one day Ray Lewis be elected mayor since they love him so much.

To Troll us.

I’m obviously being sarcastic.

A lot of tragedy would have been avoided.

It’s not all the cops’ fault but they *did* fail to perform their duty.

Just another factor in a sad and tragic equation.

Tragic story but you can’t stop bad things from happening… unless you outlaw breathing.

Yes but what about Sunday morning, Monday morning and all the subsequent mornings? Not amount of what-if will make this situation any less sad.

Cops in DC would pull Sonny Jurgenson over slam hammered and would just drive him home and have another cop take his car and leave it in the driveway for him. It was a different era back then however, players may still get preferential treatment but it’s nothing like it used to be.

Truly sad outcome, especially for the 4 month old who will never know her parents.

It’s not a shocker led him to suicide – alcohol does tend to do that. I’d be willing to bet he got drunk, killed his g/f, drank even more, killed himself.

In the end, it’s still tragic, and the only person to blame is Belcher himself.
