The hand firearms restrictions need to be lifted in this state so law abiding people can defend themselves.
The Democrats have made almost impossible to meet the permit requirements unless your a jewelry store owner, banker, judge, senator, mayor or cop.
To add just to apply you must pay $500 to get your application reviewed

Things are going to get much worse. The the crooks & gangs have more gun then all the police armory's combined.

Let us postulate that this was a drug fueled robbery.

The war on drugs ILLEGITIMATELY claims SO many lives it's ridiculous.

Do you think this man went into the store, rob it with the intention of shooting the owner to pay his rent?

Cocaine/Crack/Heroin fueled robbery and the criminalization of drugs makes people do HEINOUS things for their next hit/fix/sniff etc...

Was this shooting done by a Black male between the age of 17 and 27?

I'm confused. Are you for legalizing drugs AND giving them out for free? How does legalizing drugs keep people from continuing to resort to desperate measures to obtain them?

===================================

You are confused as well as naive. The criminalization of drugs makes the prices of the drug anywhere from 400 -1,000% higher than what they actually are. The criminalization of drugs makes it a INSANELY lucrative business and it makes the underclass do ridiculous things to get them.

Do you think this guy went into the deli with the intention of blowing this guy away or with the intention of just getting some cash?
