What could possibly be worse than that? He already has a life sentence. I didn't say anything about not charging him but how can you not feel some sense of compassion for him not to mention his family. His wife lost her daughter, his children lost their sister. They now face losing their father. I'd say that's tragic all the way around.

Just to be clear, I hate handguns. I don't think they should legal at all, period. They are designed to kill people and situations like this happen too often. That doesn't stop my heart from breaking for him and his family.
