Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff

You break a civil law and you lose your civil rights - this was not an ordinary citizen when 6 of the weapons that he sold were used in the commission of a crime. Sad how it came down but IMO this was not killing a citizen who chose to follow the constitutional rights to bear and keep arms.
