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 |
| As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms. — Tench Coxe in `Remarks on the First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution' under the Pseudonym "A Pennsylvanian" in the Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789 at 2 col. 1. |
