as if the guy holding his bye gun getting charged and convicted wasn’. t enough to bring on the police state…now any sighting of a gun in public results in the swat team being deployed n some poor fucker getting the shit scared out of him[terrorised] Anyone remember the days of gun racks for your pickup- couple guns in the back window? what a wonderful society government has created eh?
