Good Thing He Didn’t use a Gun!

Buddy Bob S. apparently can read my mind. I was thinking how I hadn’t done a “Gun Death?” post in a little bit, so Bob sent me this:

BUFFALO, N.Y. — A 90-year-old grandfather on Wednesday admitted battering his wife of nearly 68 years to death with a hammer.

Seated in a wheelchair, John Bunz pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter as part of a plea bargain in state Supreme Court in Buffalo. He had been initially charged with second-degree murder.

Obviously the charges were downgraded because he had the forethought not to use a gun! See? This doesn’t count for the anti-gunner’s unit of measure for “Gun Death” or “Gun Violence”!

Honestly, any lengthy stay in prison is probably going to be a life term for a man in a wheelchair in his 90s

What a gross and sad crime this is. My heart goes out to the family of the departed.
