Re: Jacksonville. How to arm gangs and criminals. [View all]

Jacksonville is a huge city, we're the biggest in land area in the US. It encompasses many different types of people. We've a large urban core that is surrounded by rural Southerners. Many of the rw types carry guns in their vehicles. They also like to advertise that they carry via bumper stickers like "NRA and I vote", "This vehicle protected by Smith and Wesson", and so on.

These vehicles get broken into for their promised booty of guns, often multiple guns in single vehicles.

Gang members no longer need to make straw purchases, they simply look for a sign that screams "guns inside", break in, and are armed. Many pro gunners don't even report the thefts.

It's fucked up and not only do the rw'ers stand on the wrong side of the gun debate, but now THEY ARE ACTIVELY ARMING THE CRIMINALS THEY FEAR!
