Gun Owners' Action League - GOAL Tidbits
Two points
about this article in the Globe on Monday discussing the rise in violent crime since "the nations toughest gun laws" were passed in 1998:
1. If there really are gang members etc.. receiving guns from out of state why is there no record of a straw purchasing arrest in the state of MA? EVER.
2. Why are MA legislators pushing for tougher/more laws in MA when they are saying the problems are occurring out of state? Especially in regard to point 1! Meanwhile, Governor Patrick is trying to reduce prison sentences for juvenile murder convicts. Major disconnect!
