For once, al, I disagree.
It is noteworthy if there were two guns involved for reasons having nothing to do with 2nd amendment rights.
I think people want to write this off as "Oh Belcher went crazy and killed his Gf and self in the heat of passion" (I think Denise has already bought into this version).
But if he switched guns then there are several possible inferences:
(and I am assuming both were handguns)
1) He attempted to conceal the gun from the murder because he hoped to get away with it, then perhaps had a change of heart.
or 2) He came to Arrowhead with a different purpose (perhaps after reflecting on the first killing and ditching that gun) to kill someone at Arrowhead, but he was prevented from doing that and then took his only other way out (in his mind).
So, it really potentially paints the trip to Arrowhead as a more deliberate, premeditated trip.
It is possible that someone may owe Romeo Crenel their life. It's hard to say. But someone in the middle of a rage generally doesn't take time to switch and ditch guns.
