Recently I came across one of those many Top Places to Retire lists. It featured Holland, Michigan, (pop. 30,000), praising it as a wonderful small college town on a lake with a Dutch influence and its very own Tulip Festival, yadda, yadda, yadda. You've seen this stuff a million times. The Holland Chamber of Commerce must be delighted.
So guess what I found in the local news from charming little idyllic Holland, Michigan?
"The Tulip City" has a crime problem: Their very own Holland Latin Kings, two branches of them, violent and well-armed. The Feds just indicted 31 suspected leaders and members.
What's interesting is that "the gang possesses 'nation guns,' which can be kept at various locations. They are also traded for other firearms with Latin Kings in Grand Rapids and Chicago, records showed."
I'll bet.
Now this is just a wild guess but does anyone believe that solid, upstanding people like members of the Holland Latin Kings—and similar groups around the country—give a crap about any of the gun laws most law-abiding people follow much less any new ones?
