Criminal homicide? Recognizing that people cannot be regulated prior to commission of a crime, more blood is on the hands of the right wing parties that resist any meaningful effective gun and ammo controls. - sano

I think it is safe to say that Criminal Homicide is NOT the first crime one of these sociopaths commits. If there were serious consequences to the lesser crimes along the way, then most of the perps would not reach the homicidal maniac level or alternatively would be in prison rather than out on the streets. When someone with 60 crimes on his rap sheet is out and about and kills someone, the fault is not on lack of gun laws.
