    I disagree this is fake. Shots 4 and five hit the door at 8:00 then 5:00 (using the peep hole as the center). This is consistent with the perp falling and the shooter not adjusting her aim. Pretty nifty if it's a fake.

    Lauren Hyer, executive director of Stop Handgun Violence, said she is still reviewing the bill, but took issue with one component: She said the licensing authority should stay with police chiefs.

    It should be in the hands of the communities she said. They know the people in the communities.

    She added that Massachusetts has among the lowest firearm fatality rates in the nation. Our [present] gun laws have worked out. she said.

    A quick look into the Department of Justice - FBI records for 2008, table 5 (the most recent that are on line)shows that violent crime for MA per 100,000 persons is at 449.0. That number alone means nothing, but when compared to all of the states with a common border...VT: 135.9, NH: 157.2, RI: 249.4, CT: 297.8, NY: 398.1. How do these people think???
