Limited City

Another member, Jessica Negron, had a 23-year-old son named Darren who had dealt drugs in the past but was trying to get his life in order after a few run-ins with the law. He sometimes carried a gun; his mother found this out when she tried to mediate a dispute between Darren and another guy who said he was afraid Darren would shoot him. But he was apparently not carrying the gun when he visited an illegal liquor store on a January night in 2011. He was shot once and died. [More]
Dang. Sounds like what we need is a one-gun-a-month law and other infringements that only apply to people whose lives are already in order.

S&W ought to just get out.  Plenty of other places would love to have them.

Notice the typical hypocritical statement at the end of the article by Ms Browne :

"A few years ago, Chelan Brown helped to facilitate the arrest of a violent criminal and believed he intended to kill her in retaliation (he later admitted he might have). So she got a permit to carry a firearm and bought a gun. But she notes, with displeasure, that no one has ever checked to see whether she still has it."

So when she needed it, the gun was OK to have, but others should have more hurdles to protect themselves. Typical, just typical.

Gotta love the "journalist" who wrote this. My favorite line:

"Darren and another guy who said he was afraid Darren would shoot him"

"another guy" ?? LOL!!!

Community College journalism at it's finest!

And for the love of GAWD, can someone explain why all these poor angels are only killed AFTER they've "turned their life around"?

If I were a gang-banger, I'd NEVER say "I'm turning my life around".....it's the Urban Thug equivalent of a horror movie cutie stripping into her underwear and checking out that strange noise in the basement before she takes a shower.

Who was Chelan Brown expecting to check whether she ever bought a pistol after she obtained her license to carry (necessary to purchase a pistol in Massachusetts) or that she still had it - the gun fairy?
