This is insane. Gangs running amok, murdering people for the “fun” of it, and how did they get the guns? As a home owner, I can’t just walk into a gun store and get one as a law-abiding citizen, yet gang members can come here at will across the border bringing drugs and death with them and it’s okay with Joe.
