- May I add three more things to the mix:
4.) A jealous boyfriend? She was known to through her sexuality (affections) around?
5.) A hate crime. There are many, especially in the Southern states that have a real 'burden' gainst certain cultures.
6.) What happened to the serial killer from S. Carolina? Last time I checked it is only a short drive from S.C. to Tenn. Has he been caught yet? - Reply to this comment
- I agree that a gun is the easy way to commit murder but it still comes down to the person who uses it. The black market makes it too easy to acquire any kind of firearm. To legally buy a gun you have to pass a Federal back round check. Unfortunately there's nothing to check the mental status of an individual which inevitably determines the outcomes in these situations. And never underestimate the power of raw rage when someone is overcome the desire to kill. To kill isn't as difficult as it may seem when your filled with adrenaline and rage.

Wow. Counseling, NOW. Who of us can claim that, in McNair's place, we wouldn't succumb to temptation? I'm not defending his actions. But they don't deserve the death-penalty. This is a tragedy for the victim AND the perpetrator (if the perp IS his girlfriend, which is unproven). Get a GriP!!!! Men are led by their 'little-man' ALL THE TIME (or have you not been watching the Sanford-channel lately). - Reply to this comment

Thats the complete truth. OK, guns can also be used for defense or hunting, but they need MUCH more regulation than occurs presently in American society. Example, in Germany you can STILL own a gun, you just have to prove that you know how to shoot one, maintain one, store one, and are a responsible citizen (not some drunk crack-head with a vendetta). Does this insulate Germany from gun-deaths? H8ll no. But it drops the number of gun deaths by a factor of TEN (per 100,000 of population)!!! America's gun laws are CRAZY!!!
And here, again, is a tragic example of the 'equilizer' in practice in gun-happy America. - Reply to this comment

- Not so. Some methods of murder are extremely difficult to carry out, require brutal violence up close, and/or lots of planning and preparation. If you have a gun, all that's required is that get angry or depressed, and BOOM! That's why the NUMBER ONE fatal use of a gun by gun owners is SUICIDE, not self defense. In fact, self defense doesn't even come in second. After suicide, the next most frequent use of a gun is for MURDER, usually a wife, gf, husband, lover, child, parent, friend or neighbor.

- PEOPLE will MURDER by ANY means they can. The human race is the problem, not what they use commit the crime.

- I just don?t believe that it was a murder-suicide. They were murdered for one of three reasons:
1) They were killed for ?honor? (thar); the woman?s Middle Eastern family did it. People who come from ?honor? cultures places extreme importance on personal status, and female sexual fidelity. And they accept personal revenge including retaliatory killing if they feel that their family reputation has been ?dishonored?.
2) They were killed by contract. McNair?s wife had them killed for betraying her marriage.
3) They were killed for money. This could be from a variety of suspects. - Reply to this comment
