A Framingham police employee was fired last week after allegedly bending the rules for people seeking gun licenses - largely members of the armed services - by issuing licenses without authorization, upgrading licenses, and providing false addresses for applicants. [More]Anybody recall giving anybody else permission to give permission?

Somebody please explain to me the mass insanity is Mass. How did they become so cowardly, so divorced from reality and so just downright fucked up as a three-peckered billy goat? Please!
How the Hell does a GUN license get involved in allowing or prohibiting pepper spray? How the Hell can an entire state full of people not see that this is simply gelding the livestock because the herdsmen fear them and wish to abuse them? Pepper spray requires a gun license? In Mass? Would it be too unkind to hope that all those defectives die from self neglect more quickly than they are at present doing. You know, like stopping an epidemic before it can be spread to healthy people.
". . . abuse of the public trust." (??)
The only abuse of the public trust is when you, Mr LEO and Mr Legislative, make me either jump through impossibly high hoops, or deny outright, my Constitutional right to self-defense (and that includes defense against tyranny).
I'm SOOO glad that I moved from the Peoples Prolitariat Republik of Mass, lo, those many years ago.

Many of us here in MA have been trying to figure it out, too.
Long slippery slope, started in 1913 with carry license. One party rule since the 60s. Universities influences. Dominant progressive newspaper.
Pepper-spray is considered as ammunition, and you need a license to possess amunition.
sounds like a lack of testicles and more importantly a lack of brains. You get what you will tolerate.
That sounded like a triple put-down.
In the latest ratcheting of the laws here, in 1998, we had 3000-5000 people at rallys on Beacon Hill. We Have one party rule, and all powerful leaders in the bicameral leglisture. Basically two, anti-gun guys decided.
Unresponsiveness in DC these days, is nothing compared to the unresponsiveness on Beacon Hill.
Admittedly, gun-rights types are the (vocal) minority (see other reasons above for reasons). They knew they wouldn't be punished at the polls -- and they weren't.
The populous here has no casual exposure to guns so they believe what they're told. The laws guarentee that much motivation and effort are required to get to the point where one could shoot at a range.
We have a good State organization, and they do what can be done. Going to the mattresses seems premature -- particularly when the hurdles can still be jumped.
