No author listed? I would love to meet this guy.
So let me get this straight. Criminals who are already breaking Federal law to obtain these firearms illegally, but by adding more State laws it will all of a sudden stop these Criminals from breaking the law?
I can see how the Liberal Sheeple would believe that in their fantasy land.

They never understand that it is not us law abiding citizens. Criminals no matter what will get weapons illegally. All they have to do is look across the pond and see how well it works there. [roll]
Virginia went through the same kind of crap right after the sniper incident a few years back with that kid and the older guy (I forget their names). The libs all claimed that it was so damn easy to go buy a gun in VA and that's why there was so many shootings in DC. [roll] It's horsecookies, but the majority of the public doesn't know that. And, whenever VT is brought up: look at VT - there are no gun laws there to speak of and the bodies aren't piling up in the streets - they say, "Well, look at the population in the state." Excuse me? WTF does that have to do with it?? If the populace was running amuck with guns, the bodies would STILL be piling up - pop #'s don't have a damn thing to do with it. [roll]
That attacks against us will never stop.

It is hard for me to get excited or offended by a print medium article like the OpEd piece from the Kennebec Journal. Their only salvation so far is that their advertisers haven't discovered how much money they are wasting on print ads.

I think it's because Mayor Mumbles needs an excuse for high crime rates in Boston. We just heard on the news that there were more shootings in Boston already this year than all of last year (maybe last year was exceptionally low? don't know). Of course there is no mention of violent crime rates as a whole, only shootings, so there is no context for the accusation that guns are causing the violence. My guess is this is not an editorial oversight, but intentional.

Matt,
The shootings in Boston are at a 10 year high. Mumbles is completely incompetent and I can only hope at some point people will see past the smoke and hold him accountable.
I'm not going to hold my breath.

Gun Laws
On one hand the Mayor of Beantown states that the laws must be made tougher. People with mental (possible lack of pc here) should not have guns. But then, in the same breath, the lawyers state whining that you can't open the records of those who have possible mental problems because they are private records. Can't have it both ways. Or maybe the politicians are afraid that THEIR mental health records would be made public!!!! Can't have that, now can we... [shock]

Yeah, there was even one on the front page, above the fold, in the Metrowest Daily News yesterday with the official party line: off-duty cops should be disarmed.
Sounds to me like a well-orchestrated campaign.
In all consciousness I would not be able to go along with off duty officers being disarmed. Would make for a field day for any criminal to get payback on an officer or their family.
Can I just scream and make everything perfect by clicking my gun-metal grey slipper heels three times... [roll]
The writers who put these anti gun articles togather are so ignorant of the gun laws it is laughable. One cannot use a straw purchaser to purchase a handv gun or a long gun. It is against the law. If Boston was serious about this they could easily trace these troublesome guns and put a few straw purchasers in jail. That would quickly dry that avenue up. It is even against the law to buy a gun from someone who prohibited from owning one. (The federal gun laws are at 18 U.S.C. Sec. 922.)[/code][/quote]
They all use the same talking points. I'm sure there's a template out there to make sure they cover what they feel they need and to get their spin on it. They rely on the average Joe not knowing what the truth is. If you read it in the paper, it must be true.
Sales of handguns to non residents.
How can these so called educated people that work for the media be so gullable as to say that an illegal act is a loophole. A person from MA can buy a gun legally IN MA if he has the propper permit. HE CANNOT LEGALLY BUY IT ANY WHERE IF HE DOESN"T. I can legally buy a handgun from a licenesed dealer from NH because I am a Resident of NH. I cannot legally buy a hand gun from a MA Resident , a ME Resident, a VT resident or any Resident from any other State Legally with out it going through an NH FFL. This is a fact that these people seem to miss.

Re: Sales of handguns to non residents.
Not only that, but there is a $500 IRS penalty for any attempt made in a filing to argue that the income tax system is unconstitutional.matt said:

It's simple hun - all anti's avoid facts. When you avoid facts, you can twist whatever you want to get your point across. Since the majority of people do not understand the gun laws, they can get away with it. Yes, we can write letters to editors to get the truth out, but not everyone reads the newspapers, so we're still missing a large section of the population.
