A very sad argument for gun control

 

How does this happen and continue to happen?

Answer:   easy access to guns.  TOO easy.  As has been seen before, when available, in fits of anger and moments of high emotional stress, people who own guns use them.  And then they regret it, frequently compounding the tragedy, as happened here. 

Pregnant nurse, 23, and her two-year-old son are shot dead by her husband before he turns gun on himself in murder-suicide

"On April 15, he [David Priest, the husband] changed his profile picture to an image of him kissing Paiden's pregnant belly with the caption 'My gorgeous and all-around amazing wife no matter what.' 

It is unclear what the motive was for the shooting, [Police Sergeant] Wear said, but a neighbor had reported hearing an argument before the gunshots went off."

David Priest was the stepfather of Paiden's two-year-old son;  makes you wonder.
