We had a murder suicide on the street we lived on nine years ago. Guy chased ex-wife's bf down the street firing at him, while our and other children were playing out there. Bf died in entryway, guy goes in and kills his ex (our neighbor Susan) and then himself. Cowardeous motherfucker.
When people are surprised about my strong support for gun control despite my years of being a competition marksman, I tell them about this tragedy and point out that while the guy could have used a knife instead, my children would not have been at risk of getting shot (and dear NRA: your usual answer of arming the boyfriend or our neighbor in response would have exposed my kids to even greater risk due to crossfire, so no thanks and fuck you very much).
