We need more laws, because passing new ones is easier than enforcing the ones we have 

This just keeps getting worse and worse!

FTA :
"The re-enactor alleged to have fired live bullets was imprisoned from April 1982 to January 1984 on two first-degree assault charges, said Sarah Berg, a spokeswoman for the Minnesota Department of Corrections.

He returned to prison on Dec. 14, 1990 to serve time for second-degree burlary but was convicted of escape less than two months later, which extended his stay. He was released in May 1992. In October 2001, he began serving another sentence for escape, which was extended by a Dec. 2001 escape conviction. He got out in May 2004, Berg said."

Didn't the producer of the show do ANY kind of "due diligence" ?
Like maybe asking if this guy was legally able to own a gun ?
