re: #1181 ctrlL

Last night’s local news had a spot regarding all of the recent gun crimes and he listed 6 - 10 shootings recently. Of course, the point was to suggest more gun control. Since this is MA, you cannot get more strict gun laws. It may be an interesting effort to see if any of the shooters had licenses for the guns they used. At least, the argument can be made that they were simply going against all laws and were not law-abiding gun owners. Certainly, we know that Von Brun could not have legally owned a gun since he is a convicted felon. Only way to stop shooters without licenses is for more LTC permits to be granted and free firearms training for all. ;-)

We are seeing a lot of that in Milwaukee today. 18 year old shot two cops who approached him (both will live) to question him yesterday after three or four non-lethal and one lethal shooting the night before. It turns out that the 18 year old had a straw man buy the gun for him. Tougher laws would have done nothing to stop this.
