And this my friends is exactly the f*cking problem. ” was arrested and charged with carrying a firearm with a license SECOND F*CKING offense ” These moron politicians tout Massachusetts gun laws and among the best , When the reality is all you’re doing in punishing the law abiding citizens and letting people who break all these gun laws go free. This state is pathetic! The politicians & judges are inept

How it possible that this aging Hoodrat was in possession of a Glock 9mm automatic pistol when he has no License to Carry ? Not only was in possession of such a ‘weapon of war’ he was shooting it at 1 AM in public in the very residential area of Alden and Dean streets.
Notwithstanding the plethora of Massachusetts common-sense gun laws …. Hoodrats young and old always seem to be in possession of an unlicensed, illegal ‘weapon of war’ and enjoy shooting them at fellow Hoodrats or anyone else they target. Hopefully, more common-sense gun laws are being developed in the legislature to solve this problem of only a particular segment of Society always in possession of illegal and unlicensed firearms

Let’s hope Calvin gets at least 10 years. By the looks of him that’s pretty much a death sentence.
