SMFH Lets see if this will be a repeat of the matter in which the father pleaded guilty to owning the firearms but the prosecutor still decided to peruse the case against the mother and now they both lock up and a baby growing up without its parents
Good get these guns and these thugs off the streets
we have to after the leaders of these gun trafficking rings. Every week is a gun or drug bust yet no real action on those benefiting the most from them.
