I simply meant this man, if he was determined to kill his wife and himself, he could have strangled her, beat her on her head with a blunt instrument...but yes...a gun is the least personal way to kill someone, which makes it the easiest.

I am not an advocate for guns..I wish to hell we could have some sane gun laws in this country awash in guns...

I even would prefer only outlaws have guns..at least we would know where they were!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And make it less likely a child would accidentally kill themselves or their friends....and a spouse less likely to shoot his/her spouse.
