Democratic Underground - In Gun Friendly Ohio - 2 Dead 1 Wounded

http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2011/10/18/shooting-leaves-2-dead-one-hurt.html">The Columbus Dispatch reports

Two men were killed and a woman was hospitalized last night after a triple shooting in western Licking County. Licking County deputies were called at 4:45 p.m. yesterday to a reported shooting. There, they discovered the bodies of Brian Scott Kolesar, 38, and Charles W. Cheadle, 75, inside a car parked on the road.

Sounds like your typical domestic violence, which it was.

Thorp said in a news release today that Arnold and Kolesar had been involved in a troubled relationship. Cheadle was Arnold's father. Fairfield County Sheriff Dave Phalen said deputies went to the residence yesterday in response to some kind of family disturbance. They hoped to have Kolesar committed, he said.

This is where our lax gun laws and lax attitudes towards gun ownership cost lives. The guy in this story was not fit to responsibly own a gun, everyone knew it, but nothing could be done. Isn't it likely that http://mikeb302000.blogspot.com/2011/09/solution.html">My Solution would have screened him out? Do you think a guy that volitile could have withstood a serious background check which screens for criminal and misdemeanor violence as well as mental health problems? I doubt it.

http://mikeb302000.blogspot.com/2011/10/mandatory-drug-testing-for-gun.html">How about drug testing for gun ownership? We've discussed this lately. Don't you think that would screen out some of the guys like this? I do.
