Let me sum up the response from liberal crowd…..HOW DARE YOU TRY AND HOLD CRIMINALS RESPONSIBLE
We’ve been hearing this nonsense about more severe penalties and enhanced prison sentences for extended magazines, trigger switches, etc. for years now. All BS and never once enforced when involving one of the underserved.

A states attorney with some balls to fight crime. THANK GOD
Isn’t possessing a machine gun already against the law? The article goes on to sympathize that people caught with guns then get a criminal record and can’t get a job because of the record.
