rocket launcher?
grenades?
damn.
Yeah, just a stones throw from the USA...My hat is off to the law enforcement officer along the border.
You must ask yourself when can we reinstate the Rocket Launcher and Grenade Ban. Only those foolish enough to say that rocket launchers and grenades don’t kill people, people kill people are opposing this ban.
It’s crazy for sure , ya never know what is rolling around the roads and waves these days.
According to Hillary Clinton, they bought those in the US at a Wal-Mart.
...or at a gun show.
This would have been a racist killing in the US.
Yup. Mexico is our Gaza.
