spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 05/14/2018 01:58 am Where is it being sold and for how much? I can't jump to conclusions, but it is highly unlikely that it is real. However, there seems to be over a dozen trial strikes unaccounted for. If it is real, the Secret Service will be taking posession of it shortly.
