1. Scary news

Shit, and I have to take the T in a while...

2. Drug related, would be my guess--this is the substitute for being able

to take disputes to court.

End the drugs war--vote for Kucinich.

4. Drug related?

Sounds Gun related to me. If the law abiding citizens of MA were allowed to defend themselves then perhaps this nutcase would be a moot point and unable to ever harm anyone again.

5. law abiding citizens in MA are allowed to defend themselves

duh

6. Really?

All law abiding citizens are allowed to carry a concealed firearm like Vermont? That's news to me. When did they change their draconian laws forbiding this right?

3. How can this happen? Guns are not allowed in MA or Boston

Thank goodness a law abiding citizen was not armed and able to stop this gunman. Just think...an honest citizen helps prevent a criminal from shooting more people than he could have. Why didn't someone dial 911 and prevent the illegal gunman from hurting as many as he did?

Do all illegal gunmen in MA feel as safe knowing the honest citizens are not allowed to defend themselves?

7. Congratulations on the stupidest post I've read in ages....

I applaud your use of tragedy in the single-minded and determined pursuit of your agenda.

Clearly, the answer to gun crime doesn't lie within addressing societal violence & cultural issues, or an unconstitutional system that might be able to link a gun with the individual who owns it.

The answer to people being shot is giving more people more guns to shoot people who are shooting other people. How did I miss that?

"Hey Chief....we've got a problem with lots of gun crime in the North of the city."

"Hmmmm....tricky......Have you tried introducing more guns?"
