Wild Dorchester shooting leaves 2 dead

Two men were killed and another wounded early yesterday as a fight inside an Uphams Corner restaurant escalated into a shooting, leaving several Dorchester streets shut down until midday as police investigated.

Sometime after 1 a.m., a fight broke out inside Ká-Carlos, a popular Cape Verdean bar and grill on Hancock Street, just a few blocks from the Strand Theatre on Columbia Road, said Officer James Kenneally, a spokesman for the Boston Police Department.

On the one hand, we have the Northeast Bloggershoot, where we had machine guns, shotguns, concealed handguns, and pretty much every assortment of firearm imagineable.

People shot: 0

On the other hand, we have a bar in Boston, located in MA, home of some of the toughest gun control laws in the nation. Concealed carry permits are rarer than hen's teeth; handguns themselves are rationed out by the Attorney General; the mayor of Boston belongs to "Mayors Against Guns", etc.

People shot: 3.

Why, it's almost like it's not the firearm, but the person using the firearm, that's the issue...

That is all.

Nah, can't be. Gotta be them evil mindrays guns put out. They were just canceled out by the overabundance at the bloggershoot.

Yeah, that's gotta be it...

Our guns must be defective.

Heck, there hasn't been a person shot at my house yet. Maybe places like Boston, New York, Chicago, and DC have some sort of radio frequency that interacts with the guns causing them to kill people?
