“Hill’s history in the adult criminal justice system began in 2001 when he was 18 and was arrested with a gun that had an altered serial number. Inquirer Morning Newsletter...and convicted six times on charges that involved illegal possession of guns, drug dealing, and aggravated assault...he was convicted of escaping, fleeing from police, and resisting arrest. Along the way, he beat criminal charges on everything from kidnapping to attempted murder. Hill also spent time in federal prison. In 2008, he pleaded guilty to federal firearms violations after he was caught with a Smith & Wesson .357 and later a Taurus PT .45 semiautomatic. His prior felony convictions should have barred him from owning those weapons.”

I’m sure the leftists will blame the NRA and not the culture of violence and addiction that the left promotes.

Maurice Hill, "His prior felony convictions should have barred him from owning those weapons.”

Does the low IQ individual who wrote this article realize that Maurice Hill didn't but the guns he used legally?

*******

This report cannot be right.

There are gun control measures in place that prevent this from happening. We know this because the Left tells us this kind of gun control legislation will keep guns out of the hands of bad people.

I wonder if Hill has any children. It would be a shame to separate him from his family. /S
