SEND HIS ASS HOME IN A BOX…..
What, specifically is an assault rifle firearm. I have an assault spoon I use to whack the cat on the noggin when he is a dick.
I call horsefeathers on this, besides, what does it matter that the “perp” drives a 2011 Crown Victoria?
There ain’t no such thing as a lone gunman bent on shooting up a school, never has been, never will be. It is a government scare monger operation to villify guns.
Jeez
So 2 is a “stockpile”? Jeez…and I wanna shop where he shops. Select fire weapons at walkout prices sounds too good to be true?! Regardless, WE are to have the same availability as the feds have to weaponry so that WE may resist and overthrow. What this guys presence here is another discussion altogether.
