Blaming New Hampshire

So, it looks like the latest crime-fighting strategy du jour to be adopted by our elected "leaders" is going to be "Blame New Hampshire".

Holding off on the usual comments about the low violent crime rate New Hampshire enjoys despite its relatively lax gun laws, I found this interesting.

TEMPLETON, Mass. -- Police are looking for two suspects considered "armed and dangerous" after a home invasion in Templeton.

Police Chief David Whitaker says a 25-year-old woman who lived in the Depot Road home was tied up with bedsheets. After the men left, the woman said she managed to wiggle out of the sheets and call 911.

Among the items stolen from the home were four guns.


Massachusetts Common Sense Gun Control Lesson #1:

If you have any guns at home, make sure they're unloaded and securely locked up where there's no chance you'd be able to get to them in time in case you needed to defend yourself against violent home invaders.

That way, the criminal scumbag thugs who just overpowered you and tied you up with bedsheets in your own home can take their time stealing them without the risk of getting shot at.
