I am surprised that none of the people that like to argue about guns have posted this:

IONIA, MI -- The mother-in-law of James Pullum, one of two men who died in an apparent road-rage fueled shootout Wednesday, said her daughter and Pullum's mother witnessed the double shooting.

The double shooting happened shortly before 7 p.m. at the Wonder Wand Car Wash at 426 S. Steele St.

Police said the 43-year-old Pullum and the other victim, 56-year-old Robert Taylor, both pulled their vehicles into the car wash after some type of road-rage incident moments earlier.

Both had permits to carry concealed weapons.

After a confrontation between the two men outside of the vehicles, they exchanged shots that ended up being fatal to both men.

The mother-in-law, who did not give her name, said she could not discuss the shooting this morning other than to say that Pullum's wife and mother were in the vehicle.

Police did confirm that two passengers were traveling with one of the victims.

The mother-in-law described Pullum as a "great person, a great family man and a great businessman."

He owned Pullum's Auto Service on Stage Road, address records show.

Well, if they want to kill each other...

A plain old case of MAD; mutually assured destruction.

At least those weapons were both legally concealed. I feel better about that.

2 men died so you could have your toys.

There's no problem at all. This nation now has two fewer gun aficionados. That's a good thing any way you look at it. If they could just all take each other out like that tomorrow, we'd have moved a big step forward.

Two people are dead. I know its fun for us to say "good, two gun advocates are dead" or "good two idiots are dead"

But this situation is still tragic. They had lives, families, friends. Now that's all gone because they lost their temper and had something as dangerous as a gun next to them, enabling them to make a terrible, rage filled decision.

Oh yeah, ARRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know when a gun aficionado dies, his guns don't go to heaven with him, right? They remain behind... the problem remains.

No, not really. Those two guns will end up on a pile of guns with another gun aficionado. Whether a gun aficionado has 50 or 51 guns doesn't make a difference. Reducing the number of gun aficionados is a good start. And if gun aficionados are doing the work themselves, all the better.

What do gun aficionados do with extra guns?

They lend them to newbies.
