He shot through the door. Why wouldn’t you put the blame on the one pulling the trigger?

Because that wouldn't allow them to demonize the millions of other gun owners who have never shot a soul let alone the wrong person.

Would you take steak knives away from everyone for someone being stupid with one?

Did you have some solution relative to this incident or are you just rubbing your hands in ghoulish glee that you get to politicize this families tragedy?

What about al the people, including women that use a firearm to save their life? The OP wants to take away their right to defend their lives. So if they die because they are not allowed to have a firearm, and criminals do, that's OK?

Yes, let's make people even MORE vulnerable to violent criminals that don't follow laws, including gun laws.

Well sunshine, you just rendered Taxpayer's post an excellent example of displayed irony, didn't you?

Per the laws of my state, the shoot would meet the requirement of being under roof. Front and rear porches are considered living areas. It may or may not meet the requirement of identifying all residents of the house. Was this daughter living there or did she stop by in the middle of the night unannounced? Was this after curfew and she should have been home hours ago? Did she sneak out and was coming back?

He knew how to properly get in touch with me in the middle of the night.
