Pro gun advocate

Everyone knows how I feel about being able to have legal firearms. People like this in the story below is what makes it hard on us. Goverment has to deal with this crap and end up making laws that limit our use. Sad thing is we have to go by the laws written but the criminal will not. So we take the hit for it. Right before I read this I told someone they needed to watch buying so many gun because it would throw up a flag to the ATF. Even if they are legal buys. It's because of goofbals like this below.


According to the indictment from on or about November 2004 through May 2005, Tolliver, aUnited States citizen residing inCanada, received requests from marijuana traffickers inCanada for firearms. Tolliver would instruct co-defendant Lamarcus Jones to acquire specific types of handguns from gun dealers in northernKentucky through the use of "straw purchasers." Straw purchasers buy guns for other people while falsely representing that they are buying the guns for themselves. Once the guns were purchased, co defendants would remove the serial numbers inKentucky then transport the firearms throughDetroit and smuggle them intoOntario, Canada where they would be exchanged for marijuana.

The nine other defendants in this investigation who pleaded guilty and were sentenced include:
