Dude spend more then one million $$ on his gun arsenal? WTF what did he have in there a tank and rpg's, if not he got ripped off. That's one expensive hobby he had. Still it seems he married the right woman, or at least somebody more like him. Most others would of just slipped him a sleeping pill, then called the cops and made up some story about how he was threatening her and them they would have gotten him taken out on a stretcher, its not like they needed much of an excuse anyways since it seems since he actually said some words about shooting up cops, or so according to her.
And that would probably have been the least bloody outcome. Though yes the whole story does sound a bit fishy to say the least.
The funny part is that is like swatting a fly on your friends forehead with a hatchet. If she would have slipped him a sleeping pill and gone the other route, he probably would have gone to jail for some months, eventually gotten out, gone to some mandatory counseling. Eventually he would have snapped out of it and eventually maybe would have run for mayor or something, and used all that $$ he was spending on guns, to fund his campaign. And then? The limit is the sky.

GREENFIELD — Hancock County Prosecutor Michael Griffin, a U.S. Army Reservist who is helping prosecute defendants in the Sept. 11 attacks, was called to testify before the court in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, on Tuesday.
May 12, 2010. I have been warned. I was told yesterday that my opponent for Prosecutor, Mr. Griffin, is a masterful politician who might be able to accomplish more than any other politician in county history which is control of both political parties at the same time as well as control of the legal system as the top "law enforcer" by becoming the new Hancock County Prosecutor. There is apparently a new "Comprehensive Jail Plan" being put together by the totally Republican government of the county. I must find out about this.
It suggested that that the leadership of the local Democrat party under the influence of two lawyers - both of whom have acted complicitly with Republican candidates in recent days - is attempting to grease the way for an endorsement of Mr. Griffin by my own party!
A search warrant was executed on the home and no explosives were located.
Police found about 200 pounds of explosives, ammunition and several firearms, including handguns and rifles, in the couple's home.
The county and state explosives teams were on site after reports there might be C-4 and other explosives in the house. They found some black powder, but no other explosives.
Police say Roberts first popped up on their radar screen weeks ago when he had a car accident. After that, he threatened to blow up Hancock Regional Hospital in Greenfield and kill workers at a drugstore there."He had recently had some mental issues, dependency on alcohol and prescription medication, that he hadn't been acting right," said Rasch. "The potential was there for some serious harm to take place."
For more than a decade, our country has grappled with the problem of mass casualty gun violence. Each time, we have helplessly watched these senseless incidents unfold. Again and again, these incidents raise the same question: Why didn’t someone do something to stop this from happening?
Elizabeth didn't want anyone to die, and she felt compelled to do something. But what could she do? Elizabeth had few options. SHe already had informed law enforcement about the extent of Gary's firearms and ammuntion collection and that Gary was armed and dangerous. Elizabeth could leave....and let the confrontation happen. Elizabeth could stay...and do what? If she did nothing, the confrontation would happen all around her and she was as likely as Gary to die. If she did nothing, the confrontation would happen all around her and she was as likely as Gary to die. If she did something, what would that be? Motivated by her desire to stop anyone from dying, or at least stop a confrontation from happening, Elizabeth followed Gary down to the basement.
But Elizabeth wanted to save lives, so if saving lives meant shooting the man she loved, a man already determined to die in a confrontation with law enforcement, she was prepared to do it. Elizabeth was left with one of the very worst prospects imaginable . . . killing her spouse. After twice warning Gary to stop or she would shoot him, Elizabeth fired one shot from her .38 caliber revolver.
Elizabeth was justified in using deadly force against Gary. Under this statute, being justified in using deadly force is a complete defense, meaning that Elizabeth cannot be held criminally liable for killing Gary. In fact, the last sentence of the statute, referring to “legal jeopardy,” is legalese meaning that a prosecutor is not to charge a crime of homicide against a person who can prove this defense. Elizabeth can prove this defense at trial. That is why she is not being charged with a crime.

From reading the report her life wasn't in danger and therefore she cant claim self defence.
He could have changed his mind when the cops showed up, it could have played out in a number of ways.
She chose to shoot him dead instead. She committed premeditated murder and should do serious time.

Did you read part of the article where they stated that he a sniper rifle at his home after the police looked for evidence a sniper isn't a self defense weapon its a military grade weapon.

LOL. The police call every scoped rifle a "sniper rifle." Please, what is a "military grade weapon?" Please understand that the most common "sniper rifle" in the military and police is also the most common hunting rifle in the US: The Remington 700 and its variants.
