Repeated over and over throughout was coincidently the one thing I took away from reading the article. It makes it easier for the police.
My question then becomes, why would anyone give up a constitutionally protected right in order to make it easier for police to do their jobs?
I guess I don't have the mindset to become a happy Masshole.
Ponder this: If Capt. John Parker and the rest of the Lexington militia had known what Massachusetts was going to look like some 230 years in their future, would they have bothered?
Massachusetts is a lost cause. After the Marathon bombing, police went door to door and told people, "Get out of your house, we need to search it for a bomber." Not a single person responded with, "F* you, get a warrant." Several of those people were rewarded by being arrested for leaving their guns unattended; the only reason they were unattended is because the police ordered them out of their house.
Freedom is a state of mind, and all these people live in another state.
