More Guns Plague City Streets

Altoona police reported one shooting incident over the weekend and confiscated a gun with its serial numbers filed off.
That's it? You use the word "plague" and I'm expecting something Biblical here, like locusts or pestilence.

Nice use of hyperbole, Altoona Mirror!

The lieberal press is getting more lame each day it seems.

If one gun is a plague, would two guns be a calamity or a catastrophe?

And three guns, of course would be the "End of the World as We Know It!"

My pet peeve is when writers utilize words like "stockpile" or "arsenal" when LE searches a home and discover that the owner has more than 1 firearm. Apparently when you own more than 1 firearm, especially if they're big caliber rifles, you're "stockpiling" and you have the potential to be the next Vernon Howell.

If anyone is plagued by firearms, give me a call.

I will put them in safe storage in my gunsafe ... no charge!
