Investigators also found guns inside the car. The investigation into the shooting remains ongoing.

Up to 2.5 million legal use of firearms each year, to save lives or thwart criminal activity. CDC numbers, not mine nor the NRA.

Legal ownership of firearms has nearly doubled since 2000, and annual firearm sales have nearly tripled, yet firearm crimes specifically, and overall crime have continued to fall since 1995. FBI numbers, not mine nor the NRA. Apparently, more guns really does mean less crime.

Criminal commit crimes. That’s the only conclusion a rational person would fathom from this article.

Another example of how democrats are not at all serious about criminal sentencing, especially when those criminals illegally possess and/or use guns in the commission of crimes.
