Related: About this forumZina's Story (husband shoots 7, 3 dead including Zina)
Original news story (7 shot 3 dead) here: http://www.jsonline.com/news/crime/haughton-standoff-with-brown-deer-police-ended-with-no-arrest-ak7abrg-175254311.html
From E-mail: http://act.demandaction.org/sign/elvin?akid=496.1099138.4rPCAt&rd=1&t=2
Elvin Daniel's sister Zina was murdered by her husband Radcliffe in October 2012. Zina had a restraining order against her husband, and even though that should have prevented him from being able to buy a gun, Radcliffe was able to exploit a dangerous loophole and buy a gun on the internet without a background check. Watch Elvin's message here, then share it with your friends and family.
Make sure to sign the petition to Demand Action from Congress.
I'm calling on Congress to pass common sense gun reform legislation that will:
Require a criminal background check for all gun sales
Ban assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines
Make gun trafficking a federal crime with tough penalties
I Demand Action to End Gun Violence

HEARTBREAKING! Oh my gosh. That poor beautiful woman and the bystanders.
But if this brother is a dues-paying member of the NRA, he needs to start walking the walk. Cut ties with them and stop paying and empowering them.
I'd say he should ditch the 2A too, but I am not unreasonable. (Well, I am, but it's not appropriate here and now maybe.)

(12,413 posts)2. The leaders of the NRA are perverts
They are perverting our society, perverting our attempt to regulate weapons, and perverting our political system at large.
Here in Colorado they are fighting to remove domestic restraining orders from reason to deny on back ground checks.
As a gun owner I am ashamed of the perverts who pretend to protect my rights as a mask for their personal greed.
