Guns in Mass

If there is one thing that will usually get me riled up about something, its guns. The fact that our country has such an obvious, pressing using in the form of gun control and we are doing so little about it is truly terrifying on some level and sad for all of those who have died at the hands of gun violence.

(Boston Globe Guns) Even the state held up as a pillar of gun control, Massachusetts, has seen an increase of gun violence since they passed a series of gun control laws in 1998. Unfortunately, it would appear as if guns are being funneled from out of state, particularly New Hampshire and Maine and other states with more lax gun control. Gun control advocates are calling for stricter gun control in other states to protect what Massachusetts is trying to do.
