For those dimwitted, oatmeal-brained buffoons who believe banning guns will make the world a happy skippy place, have a look at this list found here. The linked article is about two drug-craving lunatics who beat an 85-year-old relative to death in her kitchen because she invited them in, gave them a place to stay, gave them some money and they wanted more.

Observe these other cases:

* Christine Conaway, 22, of Upland Borough, was sentenced in September to five to 10 years in state prison for the Dec. 31, 2006, blunt-force-injury death of her 4-month-old daughter, Kayla.

* Mia Sardella, 19, of Drexel Hill, granddaughter of prominent Philadelphia investment banker Albert E. Piscopo, is awaiting trial for the death of her infant son, found in the trunk of her car 21 days after his birth Jan. 1, 2007.

* Stanley Coleman, 46, shot his estranged wife, Christine Coleman, in the parking lot of her workplace in Lower Chichester on June 19, then turned his .357 Magnum on himself, leaving the couple’s two sons, Isaiah and Michael, orphaned.

* In January, Robert Killian, 84, of Drexel Hill, shot his blind daughter, Barbara, 53, and their dog, A-Rod, in the basement of the family home. He then turned the gun on himself. Police believe the ailing man had feared that no one would take care of his daughter after he died.

* Paul Wanyoike, 35, of Ridley Township, is serving a 10-to-20-year state-prison sentence after striking his wife, Yetunde, 32 times in the head with a claw hammer in January 2007. He killed her in front of the couple’s 4-year-old daughter.

* After 59 years of marriage, William Ernest, 82, of Brookhaven, last summer beat his wife, Jean, 80, into a coma from which she never awoke, according to police. Ernest pleaded guilty last month to involuntary manslaughter and aggravated assault.

* The fatal stabbing of Antwan Ricks, 16, allegedly by his 13-year-old brother, Jahmir, at their Lansdowne home in July ostensibly was about the rights to a video-game controller. But defense attorneys claim that the younger Ricks’ alleged actions were precipitated by years of abuse he suffered at the hands of his brother. Hearings are ongoing to determine whether the case should remain in adult court.

* Maurice Milbourne, 23, has been charged in the July murder of his grandmother, Gladys Milbourne, 79. She was found dead in her Chester apartment, her throat cut open with a kitchen knife.

* Tyrone Miller, 33, was arrested last month in the fatal shooting of his stepfather, Orphus Land, 47, at their Darby Township home. Police believe the shooting stemmed from a dispute over a broken storm door.

Are guns on the list? Absolutely. But it’s not the gun that commits the crime as is clear as day here. Hammers, knives, blunt objects - all of it used for a purpose of evil by an evil individual. Banning guns won’t make evil go away any more than banning any other inanimate object will.
