Your political correctness could get someone killed. Really?
Another reason why the democrats want to ban all guns! Good luck, I am certainly never going to hand mine over to anyone!
He’s obviously not a white make otherwise we’d have all heard about it. What a bunch of racists. He’s black, just come out and say it!
