Paul Henry III now faces the death penalty in those killings. Prosecutors contend that he and his wife, Veronique, showed up at the rural Fawn Township home carrying guns — guns that neither was legally allowed to possess.
A Daily Record investigation reveals a series of missed opportunities to keep the pair away from guns. In fact, the case illustrates many reasons why it is difficult to keep guns out of the hands of people barred from having them.
Nationally, the gun control debate often centers on whether more gun laws are needed, or whether existing gun laws need to be better enforced. In this case, a slew of examples shows why laws to keep guns away from criminals and dangerous people often are ineffective or not enforced. |

Oh, boo-hoo.
There's a reason that a comprehensive database of who owns guns, how many and what kind they are is prohibited by federal and many states' laws.
It's unconstitutional. It is a precursor for the government to have the ability to disarm the whole population.
And after all, the government has proved time and again that it can be trusted, right.....? [eyeroll] |

Criminals will always get guns.
They steal them, buy them on the black market or get them through a straw purchase.
Contrary to what that stooge Blumberg would have you believe, they rarely buy them at gun shows, as that is not as easy as they would have you believe.
Laws to restrict or regulate gun sales and ownership, by definition, only affect law abiding citizens. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
