Just asking he says "He was a productive member of society here," said Henry County Sheriff William Maddox. "He had been paying income tax and had even been audited by the IRS...He had no intentions of breaking the law and he's never had any charges." What documents did he use to gain employment to be able to pay taxes and did he have drivers license and insurance to be on the roads playing reserve deputy sheriff ?

You gotta have one in the office working around everyone else - so you know what to look for and how to catch’em!

Probably will work itself out - and they’ll sit down with POTUS and have a beer to settle everything down...

Wait - is having a beer with a known illegal - illegal?

And why isn’t the Sheriff that willfully, knowingly gave this PROHIBITED person the Gun in the First Place?? He deserves LIFE without Parole in General Population, about 4 days.

The problem here is that fear and political correctness have created an environment in this country where people are afraid to ask those questions. You ask someone questions like that and you'll be labeled a "racist" and probably even sued for "violating the illegal alien's civil rights".

Yes, I’m sorry, officer. I don’t like it any more than you do, but the law is the law and we need to enforce it.

Not as bad as an undocumented immigrant in the white hut and acting like a dictator.
