@chris:
People like you will get Hilly elected, then only criminals will have guns, & we all will be shorn sheep for the slaughterhouse.
Hmmm do you really think criminals abide by gun laws? I suppose he was a registered owner too(insert sarcasm). Gun laws should never be changed or made with criminals in mind because they obviously don’t follow them gun laws anyway
“was charged with possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, ” – Wow those gun laws are working great!
Another released felon with firearms and drugs, put him back in prison, where he belongs and keep him there.
Another would-be American Gangster Frank Lucas with his career put on hold for a few years.
