Over 1,000,000 MILLION Boston residents are prisoners, in their places of residence, etc... because the police have told them to stay inside and keep their doors locked because of the ARMED and DANGEROUS (Islamic) terrorist on the loose! This is the reason why the Second Amendment to the Constitution is so important. Americans have the constitutional right to be armed in order to PROTECT themselves and their families! How many of the over 1,000,000 people cowering in fear within the city of Boston now wish they owned a gun?
Walking around outside holding a gun with swat teams searching for a deranged bomber... Not advisable.
