What Is Stricter Laws
What the people want doesn’t always matter. That’s been proven time and again in history. Though there are many people who are against stricter gun laws, changes are coming.

Criminals are still going to be able to get their hands on guns and whatever ammunition they want to hurt law-abiding citizens. But in the meantime, the government will […]
