They will be arrested if they own guns? No wonder they were terrified when the terrorists were running around and the only thing the cops could do is tell them to stay inside?

I think this proves gun ownership is essential. The police can't be everywhere.

People in Watertown are not forbidden from owning guns.

Where are you getting this nonsense from?

Where did you hear this erroneous piece of information?

Large-Capacity Gun Permits Soar in Watertown - Watertown, MA Patch (Jan. 22, 2013 article).

"The Beretta 92 pistol. The SPAS-12 shotgun.

These are examples of the types of large-capacity firearms for which permits have increased 22 percent in Watertown since 2008, according to state records. Ownership permits for smaller-capacity firearms have moderately fluctuated.

'Large-capacity' firearms are defined by the state of Massachusetts as semi-automatic handguns or rifles with the capacity of more than 10 rounds of ammunition in their magazines and shotguns capable of having more than five shells."

Well it was on Hannity so it could be suspicious but still verifiable. Watching Greta now. I can do a search on Hannity web site.

He said there is a sign going into Watertown that says as much, not to have guns in the city.

Oh, okay, it was on Fox News so it must be true. You need to crack a window because Fox has your thinking to be a bit hazy.

So you're going to shoot the bad guys?

How very pro-life of you.

Is everyone else down at life (but-only-until-you-pass-through-the-birth-canal) .com down at Walmart buying their guns tonight? Proof the conservatives aren't pro-life. They're as pro-death as anyone else.
