Honestly, some people are educated way beyond their intelligence.
They had unlicensed guns?
How can that be?
oh for Heaven’s sake, who the folk cares
Criminals and terrorists illegally in possession of guns. Who would have thought?
No way! Evildoers who had no problem with setting up pressure cooker bombs in a crowded area of Boston were not deterred from owning guns becuase they were in violation of the local gun laws? Who would’ve thunk it???
What provisions in Obama’s gun-grabber proposals would have kept these Muslim militants from getting illegal guns?
Cambridge Police Department spokesman Dan Riviello
does not have valid brain license
If Massachusetts only had a law requiring terrorists to have valid licenses, that would have stopped the terror cell from being able to carry out the bombing!
So we can add unlicensed carry to “manufacture and transport of an explosive device resulting in death”, eh? Another year MANDATORY!
Seems like we need tougher laws against mass murder, terrorism and bombing first.
But no... This is merely another excuse for trying to shift it back to 'we need more gun laws.'
But neither brother appears to have been legally entitled to own or carry firearms where they lived, a fact that may add to the national debate over current gun laws.
Only the liberal mind (and the bias of this journalist) could come up with this response.
Well, if the bombing doesn't get him the death penalty, having a unlicensed handgun in Boston surely will...
The older brother had a domestic violence charge as well. He probably wasn’t going to legally get any sort of gun.
All the more reason why the gun grabbing bill should have been voted down last week. Because no criminal is going to submit to a background check in the first place. Why? Because they will get their guns illegally.
Gun control laws can stop killing and mayhem.
If only people would obey them.
Then we could all live in Kumbayah.
Liberal GFW's should just pass a law declaring it illegal to disobey other laws.
And a great job disarming the average citizen, leaving them helpless....
Criminal laws are like restraining orders; they are merely paper, and the police exist to pick up the bodies after the laws are ignored.
Maybe if he cooperates the authorities can offer to dismiss it.....
The older brother was a Green Card holder (not a US Citizen), and thus would not have qualified.
The younger brother is 19, and you must be at least 21 to qualify.
If they new what the friggin’ CURRENT LAW was this would not be a story.
and people wonder why conspiracy theories sprout up after an event like this.
try this one i heard on the radio driving in today:
gun control bill soundly defeated in us senate. bammy comes out upset.
following week, bombings in Boston occur.
instead of focusing on the primary cause behind the bombings, the nyt uncovers the story these guys had unregistered guns in attempt to reignite the gun control debate.
is it beyond bammy and his ilk to pull something like this??
Laws suppressing the enumerated constitutional rights of citizens only creates a burden for the law abiding citizens. For only the law abiding obey laws.
Criminals and terrorists would not be concerned whether they had a permit or not. Nor would attempts to restrict access or owenership of classes of weapons keep the lawless from obtaining them. They only stop the law abiding.
Some fool gun grabber will put forward the specious argument that because weapons are available to the law abiding, that it makes them available to the criminal/terrorist. However, once again, that unsavory will find a way to obtain weapons regardless of how unavailable they are to the law abiding.
How can these people have any credibility?
