Wow.....neither Tamerlan nor Dzhokhar had gun permits

The AP reports that the men who detonated explosives to kill innocents at the Boston Marathons and later engaged in a shoot-out with police (after shooting an MIT security guard execution-style) didn't have gun permits, according to Massachusetts state police.

But wait a minute.  I thought a rigorous system for regulating gun permits was supposed to prevent gun violence (that's what Massachusetts state officials insisted upon passing the nation's toughest gun laws back in 1998). 

It's almost as if the Tsarnaev brothers -- terrorists, murderers, carjackers -- had no respect for the (gun) laws . . .

One might think this would go without saying.

Except , it doesn't .

And more laws are being pushed without saying and without thinking.

That's an understatement.  But we can't let tragic loss of life go without being exploited, by politicians.  They have ideological agendas that take priority over any rational thought process, and emotion is their best weapon in trying to gin up "support" for their cause
