    Any person, besides the police, who have a gun is up to no good. If these criminals did not have guns, people could live freely and enjoy life the way it was meant to be. He is guilty guilty guilty as are so many more who take away our right to happiness. Business and home owners would not need guns for protection of their property if it weren't for the criminals.
