Pistorius speaks to Gun Control not Murder

Most in the media appear to want to paint Oscar Pistorius as a innocent-looking albeit, cold-blooded perpetrator of "Roid Rage" who murdered his beautiful girlfriend. But beyond the hype what you have is just another in thousands of all-too-routine individual cases of a "responsible" gun owner who's decision to keep a gun next to his bed for protection is mistakenly used to kill a loved one rather than a real intruder. Even in areas of high crime, the likelihood that your home is going to be inhabited by a friend or relative vs. invaded by an intruder is the simple math behind why homeowners should keep guns locked far away from direct access or not have them at all.
