What store did you hide in

Makes me miss the pioneer valley

How about they just call for them to run on time?

What snow? Where? All we have is mostly rain here.

Andthe electricity comes from where?

Australia had a lot of shootings. Then in the 90s they made it way harder to own a gun and did a buy-back program. Gun deaths plummeted thereafter. We could do the same here, but it'd have to be enacted nationwide. The current state-by-state laws make it way too easy to buy in one state and transport to another.

Also saying this as a gun owner, guns are very dangerous and a lot different than they were in 1783. It's common sense to restrict who can own one and which types are available.

I'm totally in support of stricter gun laws, but right now what you're saying simply isn't true. I have a MA LTC but not an FFL and it's perfectly legal for my to transport, or even carry on my person, my personal handgun(s) to/in other states. Not all other states; CT for example is very strict about non-residents carrying guns. Whereas NH or VT (I believe) it would be perfectly fine to go up for a range day with a buddy.

It's pretty popular for people in MA to also get a Utah gun license, because something like 35 states will recognize your right to carry a gun as long as you're licensed in both of those states. I personally don't carry my gun very often outside of going to the range so I don't have a Utah license, but when I took my LTC course the instructor made it a point to mention that was an option.

Always refreshing to see reforestation instead of deforestation.

MA resident, born and raised. I like guns, I own guns, and I'm totally in support of strict/stricter gun regulation. Gun ownership as a hobby and strict regulations for public safety are not mutually exclusive, Galaxy Brain. In fact, Well Regulated is literally among the first words of that constitutional amendment you're referencing. Funny how you lot always seem to gloss over that part 🤔

I’m stuck in Dennis. You’re down the Cape? Nope

I love this store. I practically lived there when I was a kid (back when dinosaurs roamed the earth) and I am so happy to hear that it is still alive and kicking.

It is one thing to lose your morality, it is another to lose your humanity. You know that there were people on this thread who were there and were traumatized by this incident, and you make a flippant remark like that?

Early reporting points to an argument between 2 people who knew each other, the argument escalated when at least one of them pulled a gun and shot. An innocent by-stander was shot and killed. Would even stricter laws about firearms in public places have prevented it? Maybe, but I don't know. Currently our gun laws are aimed at reducing the number of potential mass shootings.

Yeah, I think I pretty much agree with that. I think that it's worth remembering that prison itself is terrible at accomplishing the goals that we set out for it. It isn't great at deterring crime. It isn't great at rehabilitating prisoners. It isn't even great at removing dangerous individuals from society. So if you're opposed to this, what would you like to see happen instead? The status quo isn't doing a great job.

Dang, that’s scary.

Somebody died at the Holyoke mall. There: that's the whole column.

The south, ideologically

manager shot

You realize people can go to the Holyoke Mall without actually living in Holyoke, right?
