“Where did this lowlife get his hands on a Select Fire Assault Rifle?”
I have discovered a few things as a landlord catering to the lower edges of society. It’s like the seven degrees of Kevin Bacon. The woman has a job and pays the rent. Her husband, ex-husband or boyfriend is in and out of jail. He is also in and out of the woman’s house. He knows somebody who deals drugs. That person knows somebody who deals weapons. That person knows somebody who shoots porn. All of those people have introductions to the world of theft and post-ownership marketing. Each guy is an introduction to an entire world the rest of us never see. Thus, the husband or boyfriend has access to almost anything; guns, explosives, timers, drugs...you name it, it can be had.
That's the first time I've heard that particular phrase... very catchy.
