If the state was worried about public safety, they would lock up criminals. They do not. Focusing on Gun Control Rather Than Criminal Control Forces Armed Citizens to Act in Self-Defense - Shooting News Weekly
Okay, so there was the recent shooting in Cambridge, Massachusetts that was stopped by a citizen with a concealed carry license, and a state trooper. (More on that below.)
What I learned today (the 19th) was that the bad guy in question had been convicted for a shooting in 2020, and was out of prison already.
The then District Attorney, D.A. Rachael Rollins, requested 10 to 12 years for this guy. He would still be in prison, and he would probably not have been shot. But the judge in that 2020 case, didn't think that was fair, so he was sentenced to 5 to 6 years in prison. That judge is Judge Janet Sanders.
Thus, another police officer, and an armed citizen were forced to temporarily incapacitate this dangerous individual where the state’s criminal justice system proved unwilling to do so. Law-abiding gun owners have every right to be disgusted with a government that fails in its most basic duty to protect the public from criminal violence while it works hard to prevent decent people from providing for their own protection.
As has been noted in several places, Massachusetts is not the most open state when it comes to concealed carry.
