  1. That is so scary. This is why I’m for fewer guns on the street even though we have the right to protect ourselves. Guns can get into the wrong hands and I don’t want my kids anwhere near them.

  2. Did The Scoop do a follow up to find out if it is a registered gun? Keep the guns off the street lets find out where it came from. I will bet it was not owned by a licensed owner.
