25 Jun How Many Guns Did He Have?
Louisiana has some of the strictest guns laws within the United States. While this is frustrating for some, it is meant to help keep people safe. There are many people out there who should not own a gun or any other sort of weapon. That is why people are now required to pass a background check before purchasing a gun.
Unfortunately, despite all of these laws, guns still fall into the wrong hands. Take for instance a southern Louisiana resident who was recently arrested for owning too many guns. Manuel Fernandez, a 60-year-old Agua Dulce resident, was recently arrested for having over 500 different guns in his home. That is a ridiculously large number of weapons. The only people who need that many guns are army suppliers and video game characters with comically large backpacks.
Aside from owning far too many weapons, the man was also a convicted felon. In case you weren’t aware, it is illegal in Louisiana for a felon to own any firearms. This makes the insane crime even worse. Fernandez was arrested for being a felon in possession of a firearm and for illegally possessing an assault rifle.
This is a perfect example of why some people should not be allowed to purchase firearms. This is why many of the Louisiana gun laws exist.
