“In America, she’d be down already😭”
@arghmahn_ remarked:
“She thinks she’s 6 years old.”
@CrownOfCalm asked:
“Isn't this illegal?”
@MagebaWaseMbo87 shared:
“This is dangerous.”
@VeeOpulence argued:
“Lol, she does not own a gun because if she did, she would know you don't play like that. In fact, people are not even supposed to know that you are carrying one.”
@BeeCharles6 highlighted:
“She made the phone way too easy to pickpocket😂”
@ViperIdous criticised:
“That time we have a serious gun problem in our country. These so-called "celebs" are useless.”
