If those things weren't fouled up, there would be no motivation for this trampling of 2nd Amendment rights.
No one or very very few are willing to finger gang members for fear of retaliation,,,,and as I said, most of the parents don't have a clue and the rest don't give a bleep. The "maya" of Boston does stupid things like handing out gift cards to Target in return for a gun, no questions asked, turn in a gun get a gift card,,,,,allowing said animal to sell said gift card and turn around and buy more guns,,,,way to go "maya". As for the police, you're right, they have little or no power here, they can't do much of anything without getting into a problem with the PC crowd.
Spoken like a person who has never feared the retaliatory murder of oneself, and/or their family.
