I was about to say that the claim this discussion would turn into a gun control debate is nonsense, because we are all adults here and we can all choose not to go down that route…sigh…
Hopefully the rest of us can still manage to restrain ourselves and continue to leave politics and laws out of it, while still freely speculating about every aspect of this case, from whether real men own pink guns to whether carrying a gun to a confrontation indicates premeditation.
