Time to Ban Driving in Boston
As a follow-up to this previous post, check out the headline from the cover of today's Boston Herald.
Personally, I'd have gone with "Illegal Possession of Firearms on the Rise Despite City's Stringent Gun Laws", or the no-brainer "Gun Control in the Bay State Does Nothing to Thwart Violent Crime". But, that's just me. I certainly can't expect the local papers to be so accurate and honest in their coverage.
Now, what's the over/under on when we can expect to see the follow-up news story, op-ed piece, or press release calling for even more restrictions on the licensed gun owners in the Commonwealth? As if somehow, such measures would have an impact on the problems facing our law enforcement officers, as reported in the Herald.
I'll put it at 1.5 days.
And if the cops in Boston feel they are at a greater risk these days, because of the rise in the number of violent criminals driving around with their guns "cocked and locked", how do they think those of us with no right to carry guns or wear body armor feel?
