Five men shot, one killed overnight in Boston
Five people were shot and one killed in a bloody night in Dorchester and Roxbury, police said.
The first incident was a triple shooting on Leroy Street in Dorchester where three men were struck by bullets about 11:30 p.m. One of the men was hit in the back, while the other two were grazed. All are expected to survive their injuries, police said.
Obviously the shooter(s) had valid permits, right? If they hadn't been practicing for their range tests, they might have missed their victims and this wouldn't be an issue. Then again, solving this should be a snap - just pull the names of licensed gun owners in Dorchester and Roxbury, use ballistic fingerprinting to match the guns used to the shootings, and convict! Open-and-shut case, right?
Look, sarcasm aside, here's why gun control laws will not work, ever: CRIMINALS. DO. NOT. OBEY. THE. LAW. Big shock, I know. The city of Boston does not grant unrestricted LTCs to anyone who's not rich, famous, or well-connected; it's a sucker's bet that the shooter(s) in question did not possess a valid permit; it's highly doubtful that the guns were legally owned pretty much ever.
It boggles the mind that the politician's response to such shootings is to call for more gun control - as if making it doubleplusunlegal would stop such events.
That is all.

Isn't it true that when you qualify for a CCW in Boston, you are forced to shoot at shilouette targets? That right there incites violence and racism.

Even the FBI confirms that Criminals ignore gun laws.
Enjoy the heck out of reading your blog. It keeps reminding me why in 4 and 1/2 years I am retiring and getting the heck out of The Peoples Socialist Republic Of Califonrnication.
Just like the "Common Sense" law to close the "Gun Show Loophole". Do these people even THINK? (and shouldn't it be illegal for somebody who doesn't think to brand their mind-numbing ideas "Common Sense"?)
I know you and I participated in a Mass Face-to-face sale, which effectively has closed the gun show loophole as it requires the documents to be mailed to the State Police, and it requires both parties to have a Mass LTC or FID, which is essentially a clean background check.
But what was to stop us from saying "You know, this sucks, let's just junk the paperwork and do this under the table?"
Sure we don't want to break the law...but if that law wasn't in place we wouldn't be breaking any laws (and who's going to argue that two lawful gun owners can't exchange guns between each-other?) and if one of us was a criminal who COULDN'T legally own a gun, the fact that we'd be breaking TWO laws rather than just one doesn't seem like a huge stretch.
Blah blah blah, choir, preacher, ect ect.

Here's another dead choir boy for you. Must have taken one in the femoral artery.
If they didn't have permits, they must have bought them in Maine, NH or Vermont- the three states blatantly screwing poor old Massachusetts with their outdated and immoral gun laws.
