After reading about that incident, there is a good example why stricter gun laws do NOT work. A convicted felon, who was not to have a fire arm, got one anyway, used it to commit a crime by poaching a deer, and then when he was confronted, used it to commit murder. Because he did not want to go back to prison. This is the kind of person that paid no mind to any law of the land, and did what he wanted to.
I am sorry but this person deserves to be put to death. He has shown his contempt for the law, and the value he places on human life. So why is it we should place any value on his.
