The Wrong Question

The state’s license-to-carry statute violates the Second Amendment by not providing objective standards for local police chiefs to exercise their authority to deny a gun owner’s application for a permit based on a finding of “dangerousness,” a Holyoke District Court judge has held. [More]

Yeah, OK, fine.

Now tell us where that “authority” for “permits” comes from.

Mr. Pynchon, you’re up.

Moms Demand Action AG Backs Laws That Enabled Criminal Brother Arrested for Rapes

But coming from a career criminal family, with authorities at one time calling her father the “leading black organized crime figure in New England,” there are personal incentives to blame the system instead of the individual… [More]

Otherwise, some woman rejecting his “advances” might have added his name to the “Gun Violence Archive”…

All in the Family

A DNA test identified the suspect as Alvin Campbell Jr., a burly 43-year-old with a long criminal history and a prominent relative. Campbell is the brother of Andrea Campbell, then a Boston city councilor and now the state’s attorney general. [More]

Alvin demands his Moms defenseless, does he, Sis?

We’re the Only Ones Diagnosing Enough

A police officer who visited Russo’s home to investigate allegedly reported that the dog was stiff, barely breathing, and appeared to be uncomfortable. The officer obtained a warrant and had Tipper euthanized. [More]

In Massachussetts, “Only Ones” are also “qualified” to file an ERPO petition.

Hey, take the dogs first, due process later, right?

It’s for the greater good…

We’re the Only Ones Maternal Enough

Springfield police commissioner resigns after house raided by police, son arrested on drug, gun charges [More]

I know you have to subscribe to read the rest of the article, but The Boston Globe won’t even let you get that far into the story, and 22News WWLP (“Working for You”) didn’t think it worth mentioning…

Rendezvous with Rama

Authorities said the gun was not registered to Rakesh and that he was not licensed to possess it. State Police are working with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives to investigate where the gun originated. [More]

Noting he was an Indian immigrant, I’m more interested if he was a Democrat in favor of politicial lampreys imposing MA gun edicts…

As WarOnGuns Correspondent Edmund M observes:

Massachusetts requires that all firearm transfers (among individuals and from a FFL) be reported to the Division of Public Safety (State Police). A License to Carry Firearms is required to possess a pistol within your residence. An unregistered firearm possessed by an unlicensed individual is a double whammy of ungoodness in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. A former head of Harvard Business School Online managed to figure out how to acquire a firearm outside the system of bureaucratic hurdles, something that requires no formal education to accomplish.

Offensive Holding

2A TOUCHDOWN: COULD NFL PLAYER USE 2ND AMENDMENT TO DESTROY MASSACHUSETTS GUN LAWS AND MORE? [Watch]

I don’t have a lot of sympathy for anyone so cavalier about the practice that they forget they have a gun, but the only malicious, predatory intent meriting resistance I see here is coming from the tyrants.

I do think it’s funny to see the NFL trying to tiptoe the line between its anti-gun virtue signaling and being afraid to agitate the “institutional racism” fanatics.
