Nearly three dozen members of the Rollin’ 30s Harlem Crips were reportedly arrested today after raids by hundreds of L.A. Police Department officers and FBI agents.
Like the rest of us, members of the Rollin’ 30s like to use social media. According to the L.A.P.D., some members have a penchant for posting photos of young gun-wielding children.

How old are these kids? 9? 8? They probably haven’t mastered their times tables yet, but they sure seem comfortable holding a gun.
In spite of all the culture of irresponsibility and poisoning of young minds on display in those photos, it’s sad to know that gun control advocates’ efforts to curb legal firearm ownership will do nothing to prevent more cases like this one.
