quote of the day

“He has a few weapons. I know he has a machine gun, I know he has a couple rifles and I know he has a couple handguns. They’re recreational and for deer hunting. I mean, he’s not a bad kid.”
– marianne klimczyk
aunt of richard poplawski
(poplawski, 22, is accused of using an assault rifle to fatally shoot three pittsburgh police officers last saturday morning in stanton heights, pa. under federal law, citizens may purchase long guns, including semiautomatic AK-47s, from private owners without acquiring a license and without registering the weapons. it is thought that poplawski obtained every weapon legally.)
