If anything, the way events have played out , there's been a shift in favor of Firearm Ownership. Dan Send a noteboard - 21/04/2013 02:56:42 PM

I live in the Boston area and help run a Firearms Licensing/Education facility. Signups have increased significantly.

The actual attack ended up being a wash in terms of public opinion on gun control, however the subsequent Hide n' Seek Shitshow that took place afterward got people to thinking that it might not be the worst idea to have a firearm at home Just In Case.

No one really feels like carrying concealed would have been relevant, though, except would-be ninjas. So it's important to distinguish that part of it from home defense.

For the record, I'm not against background checks or magazine limits, but that's neither here nor there.

I am going to regret asking this but here goes

But do you find it ironic the same week we have a bill about background checks die in the senate, that we experience a terrorist attack?

1) The terrorists didn't use guns, but doesn't it at least remind people about the need to at least have decent background checks before we give people deadly weaponry?

2) Does a major terrorist attack cause you to reconsider your opinion on the gun control bill? If it does not why doesn't it change your mind?

Of course, 9/11, Oklahoma, and Boston combined are less than a third of gun homicides each year. Ghavrel - 20/04/2013 09:31:59 AM 763 Views
True but the current arguments have revovled around these mass killings Isaac - 21/04/2013 03:05:23 PM 743 Views

I see them as different issues Roland00 - 22/04/2013 01:06:16 AM 747 Views
I'm just giving an account of a general sentiment, which informs all of those different issues. Dan - 22/04/2013 01:33:05 AM 834 Views

Good that he's caught, but "Too bad his brother died?" A Deathwatch Guard - 20/04/2013 04:16:34 AM 797 Views
He will be tried in federal court and executed.....just like McVeigh. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 20/04/2013 04:31:12 AM 304 Views
Yeah, maybe in like 10 years. *NM* Praziquantel - 21/04/2013 03:44:54 PM 304 Views
I'm thinking 7-8 years, but that overall timeline is likely accurate. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 21/04/2013 05:27:25 PM 304 Views
Nope, he will not be executed. Massachusetts does not have a death penalty. HyogaRott - 20/04/2013 05:33:50 AM 744 Views
One of those three was Timothy McVeigh random thoughts - 21/04/2013 02:22:28 PM 664 Views

This will not be tried in MA.....rather Federal Court. He will be executed. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 21/04/2013 03:25:42 PM 413 Views
He'll probably be given something along the lines of the Living Death that is Guantanamo Bay. Dan - 21/04/2013 02:50:01 PM 901 Views
