I am not anti gun. I worked in ballistics for years. I am pro gun control, but that’s not the point. I want to know why parents kill their own children regardless of the weapon they use. As someone said cars have been used. Chris Watts strangled his children, I believe.
You're anti-gun, whether you want to admit it or not. See below. Your entire original post was a shiny wrapper around an anti-gun statement.

The problem will continue as long as having children is considered “the norm,” as opposed to a reasoned, well-thought out choice that’s not for everyone, or even most people.
I didn’t put this in psychology because I don’t know that is where it belongs...
Our county recently had a father kill his very young son, while the mother was at work. It was definitely premeditated as he had an elaborate plan prior, that he facilitated using an unknowing friend. It ended as a murder/ suicide. The father shot the child, then himself.
What makes parents do this? Why don’t they just kill them selves and the leave the children to live? Is it to punish the other parent? Is the simple answer that they are just crazy? Do we have that many people walking around that are just plain nuts?
I can’t wrap my head around it. I don’t know what I would do, if my sons father hurt my son. It just makes me think that maybe it’s easier to parent alone, where only one parent or a responsible for the children and not at risk for the other parent to hurt them. I have raised my daughter without another parent and she has turned out amazing. I don’t have to worry that her other parent will kill her.

Not sure why it has anything to do with guns. He can uses his bare hands and kill his kids. Should there be a law to ban hands? Bottom line is he is crazy. He should have get treatment and the tragedy may be prevented.

I am not anti gun. I don’t have a love for them that some have..,. I probably have a few in the safe... But I promise I have more classes, range time and training then most posters. I worked in ballistics for years....

There was a man years ago, called his wife, and told her he was going to shoot the teenage daughter to get back at her for leaving him. He shot and killed the daughter I believe while he talked to his wife on the phone.. this guy was evil to the core. Shooting his own flesh and blood daughter as revenge. Sick people out there. It is not the gun,, He could have knifed her or poisoned her or strangled her, It is not the gun, it is the person.

It’s not about guns. Why do parents kill their own children regardless of the chosen tool?
Yeah, pretty sure we all figured out he's a straight up psychopath.
It may seem so but is he actually diagnosed?
