Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: Gun Control contributed to a womans death in NJ [View all]Erich Bloodaxe BSN
(14,733 posts)25. And btw, I won't post anything more in here, I just realized
the post is in the other 'gun control' group, not the one that actually believes in useful gun control.
It would be helpful, in fact, if a group host would ban me in this group, so that I don't post in the wrong 'gun control' group in future.

"I didn't realize that was the first step.." That didn't stop you from blaming her, did it?

It was the killers fault, but she did make some bad choices along the way, too. Or do you deny that?

Not at all- but those choices are irrelevant. Sadly, Bowne's family has little recourse:

Did she explore other methods of self-defense, such as pepper spray, for example?

So, being denied her first choice, she didn't even explore other options? That seems unwise.

If she wasn't "intimidated" by NJ's Kafkaesque bureaus, she wasn't going to be afraid to use a gun.

I blame the killer, Michael Eitel. He was the one responsible for Ms Bowne's murder.

A man with a knife killed her. A man with a gun could have killed her easier and from further away.

Then your problem is with Christie's NJ govt bureaucracy, not the required background check. nt
