First off I am not convinced that was a murder suicide at all, first they say they found her on the kitchen floor, no gun, then later the gun underneath her body,and later yet ,somehow the dead body was found on the couch next to him where she supposedly shot herself. as for buying a gun,anyone intent on doing so can find illicit sales easily, aka stolen guns,serial numbers filed off, so on. of course the liberal tree huggers want to make it expensive so only the wealthy can afford it, that will not change.but I do agree if such a thing arises we must strike it down in its tracks. after the illegal alien ran over and killed the smyrna policeman, i didnt see them secure the border,deport the illegals, bring back prohibition, or ban the manufacturing of automobiles. good keeping an eye out tho, we do need to track these loonies and their idiotic criminal helpful doctrines.

On the topic of McNair's muder, 2 days from the time the gun was reported to be found until the time they released information that she had bought it 2 days prior (the night of the DUI) they were able to trace the SN back to the original or at least previous ower. Now I dont know when the previous owner bought the gun. It is my understanding that it is illegal to keep a list of gun sales in the TN. From what I understand the paperwork gets done by the dealer and is held onto for a peroid of time and then destroyed. Now I can see them calling the manufacture or distributor and finding the guns shop that they originally sold it to. From then contacting the gun shop and finding the paper work of the sale especially with all of the sales that are going on right now seems to be pretty quick. It seems to me that there is reason to belive that there is a database of make, model, SN, and owner going on here. I know that Metro is keeping a track of non-trust Class III transactions in Davidson county. Are they keeping other databases that are not legal? Should we inquire about it.

Good point on ATF's inability to track highly monitored firearms.
This is a link to a part of the ATF Tom Busey Roll Call video with the NFA branch where he admits that the ATF's database of machineguns is inaccurate. He states they testify in court that the database is 100% accurate but he states that the ATF knows that is not true.

Let me preface this by saying that according to the Book we have all sinned and fallen short of the Kingdom of God AND only Steve McNair and God know what was in his heart.
I am not judging him or her as it is not my place.
I believe he made a serious mistake and like us, would take it all back if he could.
But look at the facts of a married man not only committing adultery with someone 16 years his junior but evidently cheating on the mistress as well.
Look at the mistress admitting to drugs and alcohol and a willingness to ruin a family and who knows what else.
Now tell me how ANOTHER law that only good law abiding people will pay any attention to will stop the actions of people like her.
The only thing another law would do is prescribe a punishment for the turkey that sold her the gun and that will not bring #9 back.
The city now says he was shot in his sleep.
If by some stretch of the imagination she could not buy a gun because of some magic law, what would have stopped her from bashing his skull with an axe while he was asleep on the couch and then cutting her wrist?
