READSBORO — State police say a Vermont hunter shot a friend who was
tracking a deer and then killed himself after realizing his friend was
dead.
Sgt. Albert Abdelnour says three men were hunting midday Saturday in
southwestern Vermont when 39-year-old Benjamin Birch, of Readsboro, shot
a deer. The injured deer ran, and Birch and the two other men chased
after it.
Police say 49-year-old Timothy Bolognani, of Readsboro, then fired a
shot and heard Birch cry out. Bolognani and the third man found Birch
injured from the gunshot, and he died.
Abdelnour says a "distraught" Bolognani then used his rifle to kill
himself.
An autopsy will be conducted on the two bodies. State police say there
is no evidence of foul play.

At least they're taking themselves out, one gun owner at a time (or in
this case, two).
If it wasn't from hunting deer, it would be the impending global
financial crash and resulting economic turmoil. *Those in the US that
will be pushed over the financial edge will resort to the handgun under
their mattress as they exit themselves (and their families) from this
earthly stage.
Some people can't handle the responsibility of having a gun in their
possession just like some people can't handle the responsibility of
being able to drive. It's why I shake my head in disbelief when I hear
some gun enthusiasts say that there should be a law that requires
everyone to carry a gun.

Actually I believe there is a similar law in Switzerland.

The law you are alluding to is the one that makes every Swiss male
between the ages of twenty and thirty a member of the Swiss army.
Every such soldier is fully equipped with a complete set of individual
field kit including a fully automatic Sig 550 rifle. At the end of
there military obligation they may, but are not required to, keep
there field equipment. The rifle however is converted to Semi
Automatic at that time.
