But not to worry. Citizens just need to call the police and they will have armed officers in a few minutes. /sarc.
MIL is from MA and I had this argument with her.
What if someone breaks in and they might hurt you and her reply was “well I call the police I don’t want a gun”
My misses is form there too and she was the same until I got her out of the liberal cess pit and moved her south, now she loves guns and has fitted in with the south
