Everyone should have a gun. This is supposed to be FREE AMERICA. But here in nyc only THE BAD GUYS HAVE GUNS and our genius mayor and governor let them out of jail.
@bkboyy The type of person who would shoot someone for a parking spot has no problem finding a gun. It’s the law abiding person who needs to defend themselves that doesn’t have a weapon to do so.
I blame deblasio and cuomo
@herbie12345 I blame trump he is inciting violence
This is crazy. Also, Illegal firearms has nothing to do with gun control. Laws are only followed by law abiding citizens.
@fast_and_curious owning a gun isn’t illegal in nyc you can own a gun legally you need a license for it
thanks de Blasio
