If only we had more gun laws to stop crimes like this, these terrorists could have disregarded them too...
ZitatLess than a week after the push by Democrats push for more gun control went down in flames in the Senate, Reuters is reporting the suspected Boston Marathon bombers ignored gun laws that are already on the books in possessing the firearms they used in shootouts with the police.
According to Reuters, "The two brothers suspected in the Boston Marathon bombings, who police say engaged in a gun battle early Friday after a frenzied manhunt, were not licensed to own guns in the towns where they lived."
This means the handguns and "at least one rifle" the brothers had with them were acquired and possessed in ways that broke laws already in existence.
For example, to have acquired and possessed the firearms legally, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the elder brother, would have first needed "to apply for a gun license with the local police department where he lived in Cambridge, Massachusetts."
In Massachusetts, a Firearms Identification Card (FID) is required before buying, transporting, or possessing a firearm.
Another example of how new gun control laws will not deter criminals who have been ignoring the old laws for years.

These two and their associates were criminals, where did they get the money for their cars and their life style, the news media is beyond stupid. More important are the dumbazz cops going to replace the old mans boat they shot the hell out of in their failed attempt to kill, the kid. And when will eBay end the sale of unregistered pressure cookers.
I am not a republican I am a conservative, and supporter of the rule of law. And refuse to support any of Roves dopes.
