I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.
Damn. A sitting Naval Admiral with a Bronze Heart & Purple Star doing time for corruption. With clowns like that passing classified information to defense contractors for money left and right, no wonder Hillary Clinton wasn't prosecuted.
