Recycling.

More revenue for the police to tackle the crime they caused.

Or they'd all be unemployable weightlifters.

Because it's always a good idea to increase the number of guns in a population. It hasn't hurt the Americans ... Well that is except for the children that get massacred, or the people in churches or clubs that get shot. But aside from them, it hasn't hurt the Americans.

How long did it take to figure out they were being shot at work their own guns? Brilliant move men without brains.

GOP flooded the country with guns, many high powered.
Cops get killed by guns.
Cops vote GOP.
Perfect circle of stupidity.
