All of the guns were unlicensed.

Would someone please explain to me what a "licensed gun" is. I have never "licensed" nor "registered" a gun in my life and wouldn't know how to go about it. Yet I often see this term. WTH does it mean?

Is it simply the ignorant writing of one of our "journalists"?

what about this fascist judge asking why so many?

might as well ask why own so many cars?

why own a house with 3/4 bedrooms?

why earn more than 100k?

At the point of sale in Massachusetts, the dealer fills out a state form with all identifying data on the weapon and to who it was sold. The form goes to the police department. I'm guessing that the information also goes to the State Police.
