Not only do I live in MA, I have a Class A unrestricted LTC in it, one of the hardest to get in this State of Mass Confusion. I listed the others because empirical evidence has long since proven beyond any shadow of a doubt that those areas, despite having the most restrictive gun laws in the country, have by far the worst per-capita murder rates in the country.
As a semi-aside, it should also be noted that there is a correlation beyond any shadow of the doubt that major city gun crime is directly proportional to the control of the city by Leftists. The even sadder fact is that you have Socialists like Bloomberg CELEBRATING the fact that they had
419 murders only because it was less than Detroit.. like that is some kind of accomplishment.
To ignore the fact that there is a longstanding correlation with restrictive gun ownership and murder rates is to say nothing less than, "NYAH NYAH I DON'T CARE BAN ALL THOSE EVIL INANIMATE OBJECTS SO I CAN FEEL BETTER!"
To deny the right of personal protection is nothing less than advocating the right of robbery and murder.
