Bullets from the gun Dowlut unearthed at the graveyard matched those found at the site of Anna Marie Yocum's murder and at the pawnshop, according to Mother Jones.

So a lawyer for an organization you don't like said he did something bad at age 17 and it's suddenly breaking news? According to

Why not just tattoo "STUPID" on your forehead? And a bullseye on your butt?

NPR’s spin was that the second amendment should NOT be a civil right for individuals.

The real purpose of NPR has always to push for more government. They are government. It is in their assumptions about reality.
