Unfortunately, knives are now out of fashion, and guns are now in vogue. We can expect to see more and more guns used when these filthy rats ply their trade.
Thanks, NRA…
Scary that it happened several days ago and is only just NOW being reported in the news.
NRA teaches responsible gun ownership. Nothing responsible about drive by shootings in the densely packed Westside. Plus it is never the weapon itself – you distract from the real issues- love of violence and necessity of increasing acts of violence to prove social acceptability.
The NRA used to teach hunting and firearm safety. Not any more. Now their primary goal seems to be aiding and abetting domestic right-wing terrorism. They started on this track decades ago.
no quotes from the verbal altercation?? if somebody says something so bad that guns get pulled, let’s at least know what it was!
How in the world does the NRA have anything to do with this? The punks doing this observe no laws and acquire guns illegally, including ‘ghost guns’ manufactured by gangs. All of CA’s complex laws are not stopping this.
Yep-Guns kill people like pencils misspell words and spoons make you fat
9:03 – Amazingly ignorant and uninformed comment…
We have reaped what we have sown. So “filthy rats” seems over the top to me.
