You don’t think he would have used a different weapon if it were available? Had he had a baseball bat in the car instead of a pistol, he would not have attacked her?![]()

This goes back to the theory that everyone has access to buy a knife and knives are freely available but no one is running around stabbing and slashing at people just because you can and therefore we shouldn't heavily regulate and licence the purchase and use of knives.
You did say ‘gun issue’.I never said guns are the issue.
But hearing someone gets shot every day for the past couple of calendar days for innocuous activities (or in the shooter/defendant's terms, not so innocuous mistakes) is disturbing. And if no one is shot in this manner, then there's a mass shooting (>3 victims). You could say media sensationalizes it or statistically in a country of 350M this type of thing will happen once a day but it's getting to the point where that's not a believable explanation.
The UK has certainly gone down this path, focusing on their ‘knife problem’ rather than addressing the root causes of the problem.

I would say more broadly that America has a violence issue. Though ready access to firearms often make the consequences of this much worse.
Hell, if a chick like that were trying to get in my car, I sure as hell wouldn't shoot her! I'd say, "Hey, come on in"...at least if I were younger and single.![]()

U.S. woman arrested trying to enter Australia with golden gun in bag
The Australian Border Force said staff members found the 24-karat gold-plated handgun in the luggage of the 28-year-old woman, who flew from Los Angeles to Sydney.www.nbcnews.com
I saw that.
You are supposed to declare firearms and check them in an approved, locked case for domestic flights here, but I don’t think they worry too much about firearms in checked luggage provided there is no ammunition. While she would never get through security to bring it into the cabin, they are mostly looking for explosives in the luggage area.How the fuck did she even get to board a plane with that? Even from USA.
