Shoveling the Same Old Shit
The Boston Globe's New England in Brief page today brings us quite the serving of gun-fearing hysteria, and quality "news"reporting we've come to know and love from the Pride of Morrissey Boulevard.
First up, the continuation of the Boston Globe's insatiable habit of echoing Sarah Brady's press releases as if they were the written Gospel itself.
Let's see. It's currently illegal for criminals in Massachusetts to purchase or possess this particular handgun.
In addition, seeing as it's not on the Attorney General's Approved Firearms Roster, it's damn near impossible for even the most law-abiding, licensed gun owner to purchase one as well.
But, when in doubt, WRITE MORE LAWS! As we used to say on the Big Dig - Don't kill the job!
So, from where I'm sitting, the only logical (and I do use that term quite loosely here) explanation behind this proposed GBdJ would have to be that licensed gun owners were the parties responsible for these recent shootings in Boston involving this type of handgun. For that is the only group of people who will be affected, in any measurable way, by its being banned for sale or possession in Massachusetts.
But, then again, why fight criminals when you can use your power and resources to step all over the law-abiding commoners? The sad thing is these needledicks actually seem to get off this stuff.
BAD GUN! GO TO YOUR ROOM!
YOU JUST WAIT 'TIL YOUR FATHER GETS HOME!
Next up, it's our old friends over at Stop Handgun Violence, with their plans to unveil a new anti-personal responsibility billboard along the Mass. Pike. This latest go 'round will be following up on Boston Mayor Tom Menino's recent attempts at blaming New Hampshire for Boston's recent rise in homicides.
YAAWWWN! Oh, I'm sorry, did you simpering little fuckweasels just say something? I must've dozed off there for a sec.
Menino's moronic little game of "Blame New Hampshire" has been amply touched upon earlier (read: severely beaten to death) on this site, so I won't be going into all that much detail here, but what it comes down to is this.
Mumbles - just like the rest of these incompetent jackoffs - in trying to find someone to blame for his own shortcomings simply can't get his mind (for lack of a better word) around the fact that these other states have found a way to keep their crime rates low, and at the same time, allow their residents to enjoy the freedom, fun, and responsibility that come with being a gun owner.
Uh-oh. I said "responsibility". I think I can be brought up on hate speech charges now.
Senator Jarrett Barrios and his merry band of gun grabbing twits up on Beacon Hill are simply livid that these other states' legislators don't share their zeal for restricting the 2nd Amendment rights of their citizenry.
Fighting crime by incessantly crapping on those who aren't committing the crime has become such an entrenched way of life for these parasitic dick squeezings that after having been met with proven failure upon failure within the borders of their own state, they can see no other option than to start shoveling some of that same shit over the barbed wire fences into the neighboring American territories.
Bottom line: The reason these idiots have nothing left in their playbook, other than more whining and moaning about the need to further restrict the rights of the law-abiding citizens under their purview, is that they've proven beyond any reasonable doubt that they are fully incapable of arresting, prosecuting, and incarcerating those individuals in the Commonwealth who are using firearms in a criminal manner.
Have you seen the clearance rate for homicides in the City of Boston lately?
How about the ever-climbing number of unsolved shootings in the city? Unsolved armed robberies? Unsolved stabbings?
But, hey, as long as those in power can continue to demonize the "baaaad, scary guns" and trample on the rights of the decent people of the commonwealth who don't share their visions of a police state-generated Utopia, then their mindless followers (read: voters) will stay in line, happy to play along, bathing in the false security provided them by their do-nothing, self-serving, logically-bereft "leaders".

Hearing sought on high-powered gun ban
City Council President Michael F. Flaherty plans to ask the council today to hold a public hearing on banning a high-powered handgun that fires rounds capable of penetrating some kinds of body armor.
Let's see. It's currently illegal for criminals in Massachusetts to purchase or possess this particular handgun.
In addition, seeing as it's not on the Attorney General's Approved Firearms Roster, it's damn near impossible for even the most law-abiding, licensed gun owner to purchase one as well.

Police warned officers about the FN Five-Seven after it was used in at least two street shootings last month.
So, from where I'm sitting, the only logical (and I do use that term quite loosely here) explanation behind this proposed GBdJ would have to be that licensed gun owners were the parties responsible for these recent shootings in Boston involving this type of handgun. For that is the only group of people who will be affected, in any measurable way, by its being banned for sale or possession in Massachusetts.

US Representative Martin T. Meehan and state Senator Jarrett T. Barrios have also condemned the gun.

Antigun billboard to feature new message
City officials and Stop Handgun Violence will unveil a new antigun message today on a big billboard along the Massachusetts Turnpike. The billboard will criticize the gun laws of states such as New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine, saying that they and 29 other states allow private owners to sell guns without criminal background checks of buyers, contributing to gun trafficking and crime in Massachusetts.
YAAWWWN! Oh, I'm sorry, did you simpering little fuckweasels just say something? I must've dozed off there for a sec.
