YES WE CAN! SI SE PUEDE!

Congress needs to pass a bill for a seven day waiting period concerning transfers of stolen firearms!

‘Gun Safety: Not Sorry Act’ would establish 7-day wait on mags, semi-autos, suppressors

Well, it looks like they won’t get to two the homicides per day average but you can’t fault them for not trying.

"...a 25 y.o. man was shot multiple times in the head..."


Very impressive shooting for a gangsta holding his Glock sideways out the window of a moving automobile.

As always, where’s the outrage? Or how about just a little concern? It’s because nobody cares. Nothing here of any interest to the MSM or race hustlers.
