I don't either. The law does take crimes of passion into consideration. Some of my judgment on this would depend on intent and premeditation. Why does a person with rage issues or violent temperment buy or obtain a hand gun? Is it with the intent to intimidate or threaten? I think that could be considered premeditated, IMO.
