Fred Grimm and his editor ought to be horse whipped for this article making it to publication.
It is and always will be illegal for a felon to own or possess a firearm in the great state of Florida.
The article does not state whether or not the guns where legal, but it is probably a safe bet they weren't.
Even if he is charged for possession of an illegal firearm, what about the murder charge? The law does not seem to make an exception.
Grimm is a fraud who writes puff pieces like this to excite people. He is hardly relevant to the real world. Since the Herald is, like all other papers, becoming smaller and smaller and has fewer advertisers. It is only a matter of time for his unemployment.
That "hail of bullets" phrase is so inaccurate and contrived.
