These handguns have been preemptively lost in a terrible boating accident.

I’m sure Sacramento will pass more strict gun laws for lawful gun owners which will fix this mess.

Time to punish thieves like in Middle Eastern countries: chop off hands and feet. I know the eighth amendment forbids it, but other tactics to deter stealing aren’t working.

“Steal what you can’t purchase legally”

And then use them to steal what you can buy legally.

Yep, steal what you can and sell it on the black market.
Money comes from many sources both legal and illegal.

Seems like the French occasionally did something similar, centuries ago, when they captured English archers...

Simply prosecuting in jailing people who steal would be a great start

Partner, you ain't lying!!!

In the Middle East you can tell who the thieves really are when they get out of the house since they have one hand missing.

We need to make harder for folks to steal. It should be hard for folks to steal.

But I do not agree with their supposed religion. Mohammad copied everything to make this dumb religion of the Mooselimbs.

A gun buy-back program should immediately clear up this catastrophy!

Easy gun-control reply - the problem is that you can purchase them in Tennessee. If they weren’t legal to purchase anywhere, they wouldn’t have been on the train and able to be stolen.

The trains should move slowly through those regions, accompanied by infantry with clear orders to shoot looters on sight.
