If only the neighbors had been armed, so they could have shot themselves as well.

So ....such laws are worthless and are only an inconvenience to the law abiding......
So ...... lawbreakers will also ignore more/any gun laws.

I love it when they blame the gun for going off. It malfunctioned. It discharged. Damn guns seem to have minds of their own.
I do applaud the asshat for shooting himself instead of his mean ol' neighbors.
