Perfect.
That’s called enforcing the laws that are already on the books.
This just proves firearms weren’t the culprits, and that dumb people with disregard for the law are liable for their actions.
Now dumb & dumber are paying for it.
No cause for excitement or sensationalism.
Carry on.
Anything to get a more “sensational” type of effect, so typical of the idiot “media” in this going down the drain country we call the US……
Good point Richard. It happens often with them.
Its called a stock photo ghosh are you so uneducated?
