not many details yet, but story is here:

4 people, dog found dead in California home - Las Vegas Sun News

Wonder if more restrictive gun laws could have prevented a tragedy like this.

Never let a tragedy go to waste. Why speculate about guns and gun control at this early stage when few details are known?

California actually already has fairly strict gun laws. Not as strict as Chicago of course.

If stricter gun control laws were the answer, why do so many people get shot every week in Chicago?

Who was shot, I saw nothing that even mentioned the method? Jumping to conclusions?

The family switched form Mighty dog to Great Value (Walmart), the distraught dog walked to Fresno, got a Saturday night special under a fake ID, them went home, shot the family, and then turned the gun on himself.

From the OP's post, I assumed they were shot--why else bring up stricter gun laws?
