Great job to the Mass DA ADA and the Judge who let a prohibited person go with a loaded firearm charge. This is exactly the f*cking problem. They have gun laws on the books. They DO NOT prosecute people who violate them and when the inevitable happens and the shoot something or someone the absolute MORONS on Beacon Hill say we have to pass more gun laws. NO, you need to enforce the ones on the book instead of trying to pass laws that will not effect criminals and will turn the law abiding citizens into instant felons. Mass legal system DO YOUR F*CKING JOBS. Keep dangerous prohibited people behind bars
