Thirty-seven red, blue, and green balloons sailed across a clear sky above Beacon Hill yesterday afternoon, 10 of them representing the years that Melissa Gosule would have and should have lived.
The 27-year-old teacher from Jamaica Plain was raped and fatally stabbed in July 1999 by Michael P. Gentile, a man who had offered her a ride home when her car broke down on Cape Cod and who had been convicted of at least 20 previous violent crimes.
(emphasis mine)
Got that? 20 violent crime CONVICTIONS and this monster was still out on the street. He was free to terrorize - and kill - more victims thanks to our revolving door justice system. At the time of the murder, Gentile was 31 years old - meaning that he'd had those 20 convictions for violent crimes in just 13 short years.
Please, for the love of all that's good and holy, please tell me how any gun control measure is going to stop such a monster when we steadfastly refuse to punish them.
This inhuman piece of shit should have received 5 rounds of .38 Special through his sternum that night, rather than a school teacher losing her life. That's what should happen in a truly enlightened society. Instead, our "justice" system failed us twice - first, for not keeping this violent savage off the street, and second, for placing high hurdles on owning and carrying the best means of protection.
As long as the MA "justice" system continues their "catch-and-release" program for violent offenders, I'll have 5 X 158 grains of .357 Magnum deterrence on my person, thank you very much...
That is all.

Hey but it says he raped and STABBED her. So at least he didn't shoot her, because that would be worse, right!
Mass Gun Control WORKS!
In all seriousness, that is yet another reason why I carry. I know that the violent criminals on the streets are given little more than probation, and when I look at the crimes they commit while on probabtion, obviously the PO Supervision isn't much....
Jay,
Rather than 5 rounds to the sternum, how about putting the scumbag on his knees, binding his hands, and dropping one round of your .357 158gr goodness into the back of his skull? Let the perp experience a bit of terror much like what he inflicted on others. Not that I'm advocating biblical justice (eye for an eye) or anything. Me? Nah.

"NO" really means "NO" when they're bleeding out.
Just sayin'...
I'm with Brad here... except I think I'd go with the .410 shoved up the anus, before letting them bleed out.
