    The information is so scratchy. Anyway I don’t believe he is one of them, knowing there is an amnesty on. Or is he that stupid

    He was on his way to surrender it.
    Too many illegal firearms on the streets

    Giving up your freedom is one savings your life is another maybe it’s not a case that he planned to rub any one but for his own protection the police nar catch no thief and rubbers

    How can you be so foolish to give up your freedom in such a way.

    Pops was planning to do some sort of skullduggery so he decided to not turn it in. Well so it go.

  • Rhea April 14, 2025, 9:04 AM

    Would have been easier to just turn it on. There’s an amnesty

  • Amnesty April 14, 2025, 8:57 AM

    So pops you forget there is an amnesty that you forget to turn in your gun?
