<snip>

Marshall said his wife made him breakfast and coffee as he loaded several guns in the spare bedroom.

She made a comment that he "spent more time with his guns than he did with her," Marshall told police.

Marshall told detectives he had a felony conviction and could not own firearms that fired cartridges, so he kept a large collection of replica black powder rifles and revolvers.

Because his wife was afraid of guns, Marshall took a revolver to the living room and told her "it was just a piece of metal" that could not hurt her unless someone pulled the trigger, the report said.

2. Guns don't pull triggers, people pull triggers. nt

3. it's not the guns that kill you...

It's the bullet holes.
Based on a technicality... I'd say he's right.

4. is this where

I pitch an outraged fit about men laughing at the murder of a woman by her husband?

6. Given that no one seems to be doing that,

the type of post you suggest would seem inappropriate.

Feel free to jump in with the others who are saying this was not an accident.

11. really

posts one, two and three were the models of respectful decorum.

[ManiacJoe]

12. "models of respectful decorum": maybe, maybe not.

Definitely not examples of "laughing at the murder of a woman by her husband".

8. Was that the OPs point?

Don't know, he/she didn't make one.

5. unrec for murder porn. nt

7. Unrec for normal drive-by spam

9. love all the un-reccers ... un-rec but then post to KICK the thread

10. Two unrelated actions.

Recommending/unrec-ing and "kicking" are two separate actions with two distinct purposes.
:shrug:

13. i understand that ... i just find it ironic that they simultaneously un-rec

an OP, but then post in that thread, essentially kicking it to the top.

why not just un-rec without posting?

unless they just MUST make sure everyone else knows they un-recced

:rofl:

14. you could do what I'm doing

"Disruptive and likely to derail an otherwise thoughtful discussion."

Howdy!

15. Why do the words "pot, kettlle and black" keep crossing my mind? NT

16. Stating a reason for the unrec is always better than no reason.
