SJC says Mass. can impose gun laws on out-of-state residents who carry firearms without permits - The Boston Globe The decision came after the Supreme Judicial Court heard a pair of cases involving New Hampshire gun owners who were charged for unlawfully possessing firearms in Massachusetts without proper permits.

Massachusetts has the lowest gun death rate in the country, and some of the strongest gun safety laws. That’s no coincidence.

Any effort to repeal lifesaving measures will harm public safety and put our children at risk. That’s not what Americans voted for.

I'm shocked — shocked — to find that gambling is going on in here!
