Even thugs in prison have guns?

Heard this on WLS this morning, a video from a Louisiana prison was released and it showed prisoners doing drugs, not a surprise, but also...they had a pistol...in jail...

If this video is accurate, if we can't keep guns out of the hands of prisoners in jail...how is that gun control thing going to work out?

A gun is seen in a still from the video shown in court in New Orleans



By Sofia Perpetua, NBCNews.com
A New Orleans parish released a shocking video on Tuesday that shows inmates doing drugs, gambling, waving a hand gun and drinking beer.

It was the second day of a federal hearing on the Orleans Parish Prison spending money to fix and refurbish jails. It is not clear when the video was recorded.
Manny Romero, a prison consultant who testified, said he had never seen such a dysfunction in a jail and that the amount and nature of some of the contraband suggests prisoners may have had help from jail staff in obtaining it, New Orleans NBC affiliate WDSU reported .
Fights, sexual assaults and drug use among inmates have been going on at the prison for years, according to WDSU. But Tuesday's video was the first time

It seems to work in other countries. Nothing is perfect.

Yeah, they have bans in a lot of countries...and in all of those countries the crime rate is massive...the victims just can't defend themselves...

Even Britain, the gold standard for gun grabbers here in the U.S. has a horrible crime rate...the victims just aren't able to defend themselves...so I guess that's acceptable to the U.S. gun grabbers...people can be raped, robbed and brutalized...as long as guns aren't used by the attackers or victims...I see how that sort of makes sense if getting rid of guns, rather than protecting innocent people, is your goal...
