Americas war starts right now. Mark and Patricia Mccloskey the lawyer couple thats been infamous for standing on their front lawn with guns pointed at a mob of protesters have been charged with one felony count each for their actions but thats just the tip of this size bergen the story might not be what it seems fair and. What a peculiar story ok 1st of all this this looks like a really bad movie. But it looks good its a big you know this is a really bad movie then the 2nd thing you do understand weve talked to lawyers in that area theyre going to tell you this prosecutor has really kind of shes you know her experience is kind of light shes coming in to make a name for herself but why would you pick this case i mean this issue with the firing pin thats a big deal right what we know right now is that when the officers went in and issued serve the search warrant they found the gun that she used the firing pin was in the wrong position which means the gun was incapable of firing.
