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 |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
