Not always. The mass murders are generally mental illness related, but in "normal" murders, arguments, drug deals, and robberies are popular circumstances. Read here:

I think murder is murder no matter what weapon is used.
Guns, knives, sporks, dont kill people.
Mentally ill people do.

I agree with you about murder being murder, however you don't have to be mentally ill to commit it.

Maybe the answer lies in mental health care, and not constitutional law ?
And keeping sporks out of the hands of the criminally insane !

Given the number of crazy people I encounter on a regular basis, I think better access to mental health resources would probably be a good thing. And everyone knows no good can come from sporks.
