Perhaps more ‘Gun Control’ laws would prevent this. Surely this guy would follow the more stringent laws, like all other law abiding citizens follow the current laws.
These hoodlums should be elderly when they are released from prison. This violence has to stop, so a strong message needs to be sent. Criminals can get any weapons they want. Protect the public and law enforcement. Put them away.
