What Rebecca Schaeffer’s father and co-star want you to know 30 years after her death

1. Ill bet Rebecca wished she had a gun when bardo showed up on her doorstep

2. I’m rabeccas cousin once removed, I never met her as I’m too young, but I do know how much this has affected my family members, and I still wish I could’ve gotten to meet such a sweet person. RIP Rebecca 🕊

3. Jesus Christ this is SUCH a Democrat ad.

4. He didn't buy the gun his brother did

5. GUNS don't kill people. Crazy people kill people. All the gun laws in the world won't keep guns from crazy people.

6. From what I understand, the guy showed up at her place twice, the second time killing her. If she had a gun, at least that would have given her a chance at defending herself. Not that I want people to get in shootouts more often, but gun laws simply won't keep them out of the hands of criminals.

7. Rebecca Scaffer had paid the ultimate price her life!!!!

8. Am not saying that they / she deserves it though Rebecca Scaffer should have made better choices etc……

9. This reminds me of Dominique Dunne

10. This makes me so angry!!!!

11. They should have done this while she was alive!!!!/ what good does that do now!!!!! /why didn't you dumb as.es!!!! saved her!!! 😠 🗯 😡 😾 💢/ mad madd

12. Then along comes Texas making it easier for people including the insane to get a gun.

13. Sorry, gun control laws will not keep bad guys from obtaining firearms. It only weakens the law abiding. Stop it with this vile propaganda ABC. A gun also protects those who obey the law from those who don't. It is tragic that she was killed and that is all you liberal media report. How about reporting all of the live saved by law abiding gun owners? Nope, you won't report that. You report lies. "Shall not be infringed" means just that. We have history of nations who have turned in their arms and all the lives lost from chaos and tyranny that ensues.

14. Gun control laws should not be a political issue. Screening to weed out people who are emotionally unstable is for everyone’s safety.

15. It has nothing to do with gun control laws idiots, do you not think that lunatic would’ve stabbed her to death, instead? Dude was crazy.

16. “How did that lunatic get a gun?” – Pam Dawber

    Good question, Pam.

17. If “My Sister Sam” ever going to be available on DVD, Blu-ray and digital media formats from Warner Home Video, we love to see extras with CBS promos, interviews, audio commentaries and a PSA with the surviving cast in honor of their late co-star, Rebecca Schaeffer.

18. If he had not had a gun he would have used the knife.
    So sick of this assault on the 2ed amendment.
    It's not the weapon it's the person that wants to do evil.
    I have never had to use my gun.
    I like knowing I can protect myself should I ever need to.

19. We all miss Rebecca, her family and Pam handled it soo well with her death. Humans can be so cruel, why is it so easy to get a hold of a gun? We have people who can professionally handle guns to hunt food and fend off wrong doings, so why does the public get permission? I want somthing to be done about this and I want it done soon, not in another fifty years when thousands more people have been fatally shot.

20. I really liked this show in high school. What happened to her made me angry and I still can't believe crazy people can get guns so easily.

21. I hate to say this, but if we take guns away, murderers will use different weapons. We need to be strict with stalking laws and background checks.

22. Sadly you will never keep guns out of the hands of nuts they will find a way to get them illegally. They are wasting their time trying to change anything I'm sorry nuts & criminals see laws as not applicable to them. Those are the people you want to keep guns away from but never will. SAS I remember her murder. Why didn't the killer get the death penalty?

23. Goodness gracious this is so sad

24. This guy could've killed her with one punch to the head, with a knife, with a crowbar or heavy object. Grown men can literally kill women just by punching them in the head once and these people think a gun ban would've saved this woman?

25. Shall not be infringed.

26. So glad I never had children. 😣

27. Who is the private investigator who contributed to the death of Rebecca Schaeffer? He outed her address yet that individual gets to keep his privacy?

28. I loved this show!! and I was devastated when I heard about Rebecca’s death! I was 19 years old at the time. Rest In Peace❤️

29. You can tell they know nothing about guns

30. Protection from mental illness is the issue, the gun doesn't have a brain. The perpetrator would have used other weapons to satisfy his sickness. Perhaps a hammer, scissors, toaster who knows. I remember this tragedy from decades ago and nothing has changed, mental illness has been the enemy since the beginning of time.

31. It's sad no one made a movie about this

32. Rebeca was on an Episode of Growing Pains .

33. I own many guns. To obtain them I have had to go through background checks. This A-HOLE obtained a gun illegally! NO LAW I repeat ZERO LAWS would have stopped her murder! Her murderers teachers begged to get him mental help and THE MURDERERS parents always pulled him out of counseling. This is an accountability thing NOT a gun control thing. Using the "logic" used here qe would need a pillow ban, hammer ban, knive ban, and so on.

34. Actually don’t mind me asking if to stop weapon from the being : would be earlier now might be hard I supposed

35. As much as i believe in the 2nd amendment I also believe that if you put a ban on guns, if someone wants it bad enough they will find a way to get one. Could her death been prevented, absolutely. Was it tragic, most definitely especially with her being only 21. I don't think you can get more strict on gun laws but I do think that those who are not following them seller wise need to be held accountable.

36. Rip Rebecca sleep with angels!

37. I hadn't forgotten about this; I've just rewatched Stalking Laura and shocked to know that in 1990 – California had introduced the Anti-Stalking Laws. Too bad this wasn't introduced earlier. Could it have saved her? In Australia, after the Port Arthur massacre (35 lost their lives) in Tasmania; gun control became a lot tighter, however just searching now, it seems we have over 3 million guns here (pop about 22mil). I think it is only a matter of time before we see more gun deaths in Australia. They used to say we were always 10 years behind the US and we're already past that timeframe……

38. You know I am also obsessed with an actress think about her 24/7 hope I don't do something like what happened.
