I guess they will be hauled before the courts and not one so called clergyman will utter a peep.

(((Paging))) 'Bishop' Ellis, Gomez? Any kind words on behalf of this two misunderstood gentleman who may not be able to afford their bail, or give a $10,000 'donation' to your earthly concrete building, "Building fund"? Oh, I forgot, they had marijuana, a DANGEROUS DRUG (according to the Tribune) very dangerous to that cancer growth.

That is a military grade gun designed for close quarter special forces urban assault. . .that came from one of our neighbors with an army. . .that's not an American model that can be bought in a gun shop! The armo appears to be 0.762 NATO round popular with NATO partners of USSR background. . .thus a friendly buyer in this regain! That model is the older model used by USSR and allies and may have originated in Africa, middle East, China or Eastern Europe. . .then closer home. . .Cuba, Granada, Haiti, Jamaica or South America! But if I had to put any money on the most likely point of origin of that model to end up in this country. . .I would put money of Cuba, through Haiti or Jamaica! Cuba is the only close nation with Spetsnaz training during that era. . .the gun is very old!!

According to the guy who sits next to me (an ex-member of the Israeli army intelligence before he quit and started derivatives trading) it is of Bulgarian manufacture and wholesaled through Pakistan and sold around the world to anyone who wants to buy one. Usual price is about $1500 plus any add-ons.
