I once worked with a man 40 plus years ago, his thoughts on killing were interesting. "We all have the ability to kill another very easily." He went on to say " we have to be angry enough and have a weapon ( he was referring to a gun). Given that situation where the 2 factors come together it could easily happen to any of us despite the fact we here are NOT killers at heart. Guns do not scare me, but I don't want to own one in part because of the above reason.

Not sure Tony Mads remembers the story of local Coventry RI resident who shot to death his estranged wife and then turned the gun on himself. He was a long time friend who was at one time just a regular guy who worked hard, made a lot of money in real estate then cheated on his wife with the wrong woman, then married her. It was the second marriage that was a mistake. Bad went to worse, this guy got leukemia she divorced him and he flipped out. Problem was he owned guns and he decided to use them. In 1974 when I met this guy who became my tennis partner and close friend I would have bet he would be the last person in the world to have committed such a reprehensible act.


Gunar, then you have the scum bags that your country is dealing with. It's unfortunate that the innocent citizens are paying a price.
