"Bob Costas is Wrong: Gun Ownership Deters Crime"
There are many opinions (pro and con) about guns.
Every high profile murder involving guns reconstitutes those opinions.
Sadly, the gun, NOT human behavior, becomes the predominant issue almost every time...

Here, on the Heartland.org blog, Maureen Martin includes this in her opinion post:
"Never mind the fact that their relationship was so troubled that the KC Chiefs team management was providing counseling to them. And never mind the fact that Belcher had a history of violence against women dating back to his college years at the University of Maine, where police were summoned three times due to his behavior. And never mind the fact that, while he earned a degree there, ironically enough, in child development and family relationships, he also joined a group called Male Athletes Against Violence ('MAAV').
USA Today reports: As part of MAAV, Belcher would have signed a pledge card, vowing never to commit violence against women and to stand up against those who did. The pledge, among other things, required him to 'look honestly at my actions in regards to violence and make changes, if necessary.'
And also never mind the fact that Belcher had been drinking heavily the night before the shooting and spent part of that night with another woman."
