No such chance.

The easy availability of hand guns made killing Steve McNair easy.

Gun purchased one or two days prior without a waiting period through a
private sale.

Nice work NRA.

Maybe he deserved being shot.

Well then, the NRA has helped make certain that he could be.

Do you think waiting a week or even a month waiting period would have
kept this woman from shooting him if that was what she wanted to do?

Perhaps she would have gotten over the shock that he wasn't going to
leave his wife for her or she'd have given him enough reason to try to
protect himself from her clearly insane act.

I imagine she would have just put ground glass in his food or clubbed
him to death in his sleep if she didn't have a gun.

Would have given him a better chance of survival than three shots, two
to the head.

If you took all the gun shot murders out of the picture, we still have
a much higher murder rate than all of those countries we use as an
example of our gun problem and that assumes the gun toting murderers
wouldn't kill someone if they didn't have a gun.
We have a violent society for some reason and guns are just the lazy
way to kill people. I do not underestimate yankee ingenuity tho.

You'll never know because the NRA is there to protect your rights.
