The Chief Medical Examiner’s Office on Wednesday said a 38-year-old Newbury woman died from shotgun wounds to the head and torso, and that her death is a homicide, according to a news release from Vermont State Police.
Gun-safety advocates said the death of Karina Rheaume, who was allegedly shot by her father after she went to check on him and bring him food on Monday afternoon, was further evidence that Vermont’s gun laws need to be strengthened, especially in regard to keeping guns out of the hands of people who may be behaving erratically. |

| Again, our objections to "red flag" law is not the goal, it is the de facto complete absence of due process. |

“In order to address firearm suicides and tragedies, we need to deal with the means.”
No, you need to deal with the person. The family knew he was off his rocker, so why didn't they have him committed for observation? Given the description of events and his 'belief,' he just as easily could have killed her with a hatchet.
IT AIN'T THE GUN, IT'S THE PERSON.
No inanimate scapegoats. Deal with the DISEASE. |

TO REMEMBER |
| ...If a man lies under oath or procures the lie of another under oath, if he perjures himself or suborns perjury, he is guilty under the statute law. Under the higher law, under the great law of morality and righteousness, he is precisely as guilty if, instead of lying in a court, he lies in a newspaper or on the stump; and in all probability, the evil effects of his conduct are infinitely more widespread and more pernicious. — Teddy Roosevelt - May 12, 1900 |
