Less than a week after the push by Democrats push for more gun control went down in flames in the Senate, Reuters is reporting the suspected Boston Marathon bombers ignored gun laws that are already on the books in possessing the firearms they used in shootouts with the police.
According to Reuters, "The two brothers suspected in the Boston Marathon bombings, who police say engaged in a gun battle early Friday after a frenzied manhunt, were not licensed to own guns in the towns where they lived."
This means the handguns and "at least one rifle" the brothers had with them were acquired and possessed in ways that broke laws already in existence.

The Lefty gun grabbers will not listen to the criminals get guns argumant even if it smacks them in the face. When the Tsarnaevs had weapons that were acquired illegally, the media goes mum. They dont want the law abiding gun owner thinking his compliance does no good.
This is awesome and really made me laugh. Thanks.
What guns did they have? Hand guns and a rifle is pretty broad. Where the guns recovered ?
Nowhere, right?
So bans clearly work.
Liberaltarian drug-pusher! </sarcasm>
The 2nd one—loved it! esp. the kittie!
Anyone notice there seems to be a news blackout on the firearms they used.
Normally the police will give a photo op, show the weapons and call for more gun control.
I’m surprised they haven’t called on the SENATE to revote on the AW ban.
According to the Constitution, which is the sole document which defines this crime, and the *only* crime so described in said document, "Treason shall consist of waging war against these United States..." I respectfully submit that the actions of the defendant were in fact waging war against these United States.
QED, you are correct. As to hanging, the Constitution does not specify a prescribed manner, but does clearly authorize a penalty of death upon conviction...
