I'm new here and just getting my sea legs, but Mr. BobbyR... your words show the sobering reality of this tragedy. Just read a powerful article that did similar.: http://drbrianmattson.com/journal/2012/12/17/false-dichotomy-alert

Any real man ought to cry... unashamedly.

Hey Stevo, maybe she held them for protection against a known threat within the house. She must have known one day he would lose the plot.

Could be. Apparently they use to go shoot guns together at the range.

That worked well for them!
The NZ Police say it's not if but when one of these unthinkable events happens here, please please let me be close enough to grab the weapon and shove it where only his cell mate will find it!

Fellas, can you take this to the official gun thread. This was intended for people to express their thoughts on the tradgedy.

This new turn opens the door for people with more passion that tact.

We will light a single candle on Xmas Day to shine in the darkness.
It will symbolize the humanity that we offer.

 Too Often, When There Is A Tragety Like That, We Are REALLY There And Feeling The Pain And All And After A Bit, We Are Back At Our Everyday Lives. Thing Is, Those Families Will NEVER Be The Same And They Can't Just Back Off From It, Even If They Wanted To. I Am Ashamed To Admit That I Had Let That Tragety Slip From My Thoughts And Had Been Focusing On What Are Much Less Important Matters Of MY Life. I Can Only Imagine What It Takes For Them To Try To Move On With There Lives, After Something Like That. Lord Help Them All, They Are Definitely In MY Prayers.
