Now, if we had more “Gun Control” laws in place, these people would abide by them. Ha! Ha!
You’re right! Our current group of legislators just wrote a law adding an 11% tax to firearms and accessories, including ammunition. That will keep those criminals at bay! We should all feel safer come October!
Nice work AAPD. Congrats on arresting these pillars of the community. Stay safe out there among the hoodlums. May each of them enjoy years of prison times. Thank you.
