Jul 2012

with 100millions of guns in circulation in this country and the black market world, gun control is a fantasy never realized. Never! If the gun sellers are put out of business, the underground black market will always supply the need. Guns can never be eradicated and people like this Holmes character have enough pull and money to get what they want and so does any damn criminal out there. Sorry , just never will happen.
