Think anyone in Boston or Watertown wished they had a gun this week....especially with a capability to fire more than 6 rounds??

IANAL but here that may be considered a "thought-crime." Here, it's often best to express your thoughts in an indirect way. For example, I overheard someone, who I don't know and who I did not see, express a desire to own a gun and possibly one with a clip with more than six bullets (translation: magazine that holds more than six rounds). This is the best way to not frighten your neighbors and not become a person-of-interest.

Rudy didn’t act like this. I liked his attitude toward the terrorists.

Nah...no one wants them and their children to be gunned down. Liberals like victimhood just someone else’s. Nothing like a liberal being mugged to turn them into a conservative.

Well, that may be true for some.

However, have you considered that just maybe a girlie man feels relieved to be unarmed - that way they don’t have to take a risk, and it’s not their fault. After all, who could expect them to man up when they are not armed?

Remember reading a post here where some liberal guy said said to his SIL, that he wouldn’t use a gun, even though he had one, because he might get in trouble for shooting someone. That’s the ones I am talking about.

Pretty sure I heard the number 200 rounds being fired. Now why would the police who are so accurate need more than 6? I thought they are professionals. /sarc

On a serious note, most of shots fired in modern warfare is suppressive fire. Its purpose is to prevent the enemy from doing what they want to do. But you need far more than a handful of rounds to execute this strategy.

The issuance of gun permits in MA is left entirely to the sole personal discretion of your town police chief.

If he doesn't like you, is having a grumpy day, just permitted 3 other people and doesn't feel like permitting another, etc etc etc you can and will be refused, no questions asked.

My town's permit application even states right on it, that due to new changes to gun laws people renewing their permits should consider if it is even worth their while.

That’s how I heard it while it was happening, the woman who noticed the blood by her boat. But on the news (Fox, I think), they were crediting the chopper using heat signature tech. I’m thinking that was AFTER the civilian came up with the first clue. Spin.

The TV coverage I saw had commentators talking about all the full auto firing they heard leaving the impression that it was the terrorist punk doing it, thereby pushing their antigun agenda.

What I really observed was a police force using M-16s on full auto without a shred of fire discipline....you could hear their NCOs and officers scream to “cease fire” throughout the barrage until it slowly died out....I could not discern any terrorist return fire which would have stood out from the police fusillade as it fell into silence.

Aren’t the police misusing weapons that Obama says do not belong on our streets, but only on the battlefield......

[[Anyone in Mass want a gun now?]]

Probably not- after all- the police protected them- THIS time (However- it’s damn lucky that creep didn’t just smash his way into people’s homes openign fire on them asd they stood shocked and defenseless)

Brian Williams made me sick with his whining and over the top wringing of hands and knashing of teeth.


That Simpering Pansy brian williams is the reason I flat-out quit watching ANY national news. The Pansy wet his little panties so badly after the GA Tech shootings while spewing propaganda, I had to swear off all of them.

Drive-by Media == Domestic Enemy.

Just got home with the newest addition to my family; a Hi-Point Model-4595 Carbine. It uses the same magazines as their .45 pistol, which can be a very convenient thing.

I need to interpret MA gun laws all the time, and I find them confusing, Inconsistent, and conflicting with each other.

Initial impression is that it is quite well put together; but I’ll give you more detailed account later on this week or next weekend. I’m going to head to the range this week and put a couple dozen rounds downrange. Thank heavens I’m a 1911 fan; I have quite a bit of .45ACP on hand.

Thanks. Same here. I have had no problem getting or stocking .45. Look forward to hearing how it goes.

And they are kept that way to ensure that no one can ever be on the right side of the law.
