Good luck try to change it.
In spite of California's strict gun control laws, its violent crime rates, including death by firearm, are higher (worse) than Texas.

Indeed, I think she needs to get her own adult panties on, mature up, and simply recognize a mistake and learn how not to repeat it. No biggie.

It was just a lie, like so much of what he says. You need to admit that you were wrong and be more careful with what you post.
Did you notice I put a question mark in the title? That means I am not sure about that. Wasn't agreeing wasn't disagreeing. You need to be more careful what you read.

Oh well in that case, to answer your question, no people in Watertown are not forbidden to own guns.

It wasn't a lie, it was a question and it does seem one can get jail time if they carry an unregistered gun.

"Might be true" is what you said and what I meant.

Yep, signs that say, "Mandatory 1 year jail sentence if you have a gun"

Go inside your homes and stay there. The instructions from the police, really safe huh?

Yeah, the state has a one year mandatory sentence for possessing a gun without a license.

My brother in law, his wife and his daughter - who all live in the New Bedford area - all have concealed carry permits. Several of his neighbors also have permits and own guns. There is a lot of nonsense on this thread with regard to Massachusetts.

Yes, when we defend ourselves from a madman with a gun we are pro-death.
Talk about doing a mashup to fit in your tiny progressive box!!!

Babies should be allowed to grow up to be whatever they'll become. If they grow up to be murderers and terrorists, then they should be shown the door to the after life. Being pro-life for babies, and pro-death for badies does not conflict.
