For those of you who are unfamiliar with the story, the police chief from Greenland, NH was shot and killed just 8 days before retiring. Four other officers were shot but survived. This occurred during a drug raid. The dealer ended up killing his girlfriend then himself during the shootout.
Already the Boston Herald is implying that it's not the fault of the guy who pulled the trigger, not the fault of our failed "War on Drugs" but that it's the fault of the "Gun Show Loophole".
