How cute! Little thugs! I bet they think they are real gangstas, too! Go to Houston...they have real gangs there. And I wouldn't advise playing with guns here in San Angelo, because even this life-long liberal is armed to the teeth...I guarantee those of us who are mature gun owners probably have much better aim than the wanna be thugs here in town...
