Even the Boston Globe gets it....

You know that there has to be some truth when a paper that usually like mumbles agrees. Sorry if this is a dupe but seeing as this effects me and all Boston residents I thought I'd share. Gun crimes increase in Massachusetts despite tough gun laws - Boston.com

Gets what? Did you read anything other than the headline? The article is pro gun control.

Two different stances out of Globe writers.
The other one says that the laws are ineffective or even counterproductive.
This one says that the state needs more of them.

Screw the Globe, I hated them when they supported Busing back in the 70's and I still hate them to this day, they have not changed and neither have I

"Deaths by firearms in New Hampshire occur at twice the rate in Massachusetts; in Maine, the rate is triple." Damn - I'm moving from NH to Dorchester, where it's safer.

"According to law-enforcement records, Markoff [Craigslist killer] bought a 9mm pistol at the State Line Gun Shop in Mason, N.H., while using another man’s New York driver’s license and falsely saying he had attended college in New Hampshire."

I didn't think if that...I'll use someone else's out of state DL and claim I used to go to school in NH, and then pass a NICS check to buy a handgun not traced to me!

Yeah he cites Bloomturd's Mayors Against Guns as a source lol

1. This is the Globe, so fewer people are reading it day by day.
2. In the 2000s, something like 89% of the gun deaths in NH were suicide. (Beyond homicides: The state?s hidden gun issue | Ledger Transcript).

That article is so full of half-truths and deliberate misleading statements, I don't know where to start.

It's the Globe, the best idea is not to start to read the article.
