Chiefs players commits suicide at team facility - chicagotribune.com

This is another sad story. Could gun control have at least prevented the murder? Without easy access to guns, domestic fights like this might not take a murderous turn.

Really? You think he couldn't have used a knife or poisoned her coffee? Drug control might have prevented her from being killed by a gun but it wouldn't have prevented her being killed.

If someone wants to kill someone, lack of a gun will not stop them.

No it's not about gun control.....it's about people who cannot mentally handle the pressure of being rich and famous. Also, it's people who believe that violence will assist in solving a problem. How about better coping skills for athletes?

Sad story, but not a chance the murder could have been prevented. He was on a mission and he knew what the end result was. If it happened with a gun, a knife, baseball bat, car, or just beat her down.....it was going to happen.

I think punishing me or anyone else for what that idiot did is pure genious.

This is a stretch, at best.

Even if you have zero respect for our Constitution, surely you can reason out that an NFL player or other wealthy individual will have little difficulty obtaining guns.

So no, gun control wouldn't help. It would only ensure that folks with money or who don't mind breaking the law have guns, while the law abiding citizens don't.

Hogwash. This guy was a starting linebacker in the NFL. He could have easily killed her with his bare hands if he wanted to. However, of course the anti gun freaks will use this as a rallying cry for gun control.

He would have just stabbed her, hit her with something, choked her or beat her to death.
