Boston-Style "Home Rule"

I WAS pleased to see that Adrian Walker's Oct. 21 column ("Waging a gun battle," City & Region) gave important attention to my home rule petition to close a loophole in our gun laws by increasing penalties for illegal guns found in homes.

"Illegal" means me 'n my boys won't give you permission, or you just got tired of jumping through all the insane hoops we've put up to discourage you (and amuse ourselves that you actually put up with our ****).

And "home rule," of course, means that we rule inside your home.
