Guns don't kill people, per se, people do, pathickey. Curbing such wanton violence must focus efforts on quelling street fights which leave opponents grabbing weapons before learning to resolve their disputes with words & mutual gain bargaining. Time for a Ceasefire?
What a crock. He's done this before: finagling his way out of a tougher sentence by agreeing to help the authorities. In 1998, he was convicted of conspiring to smuggle heroin into the country from his native Pakistan and avoided a lengthy prison sentence by working for the DEA undercover.

Have a great night.
