Are you kidding me ?? In Texas, when they find a dozen bodies buried vertically in your back yard, you still get to buy all of the AR-15’s and cases of ammo your little murderous heart desires. So yeah, she murdered both her kids. But before she did, by God, she proved herself deserving of an A+ NRA rating ! Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk ---
