Well......he hasn't learned a dern thing, not supposed to have firearms in his possession so he has a whole room full. Smart, real smart, won him a trip back to the lock-up.
ReplyDeleteJust why has he not been turned over to the Feds? Charge these assholes with federal laws and they go away in a federal prison that is harsh, not like county or state country clubs!
ReplyDeletePerfect example of why not gun laws won’t change a thing. The bad guys don’t follow the law.
ReplyDeleteSo, I assume he didn't have to take the handgun class like the rest of us law abiding citizens. At least my handguns won't have a brass catcher attached.
ReplyDeleteSo, why didn't the Maryland law keep the handguns away from him. Are you saying that people who shouldn't have weapons can still get them.
Let me go put on my surprised face!
He needed all of those weapons because he was afraid of being robbed !!
ReplyDeleteYupp, more gun laws would have prevented this.....LMAO
ReplyDeleteConvicted felons should be allowed to own firearms if they were never convicted of violent crime, PERIODT!
ReplyDeleteThe right to bear arms shall not be infringed. Ex felons do not become immune to violence thereby negating a need for self defense. If the felony is bad enough to persecute for life then put them to death. If it is not when they pay their debt stop persecuting them.
