Yea I have had thus conversation more than once with my MIL. "They should ban assault weapons. " "ok, what does that mean?" "You know, the assault ones."
I don't own any guns so I don't have any skin in the game, but it's tough to have a productive discussion when one person has no idea what they even want.

Much more likely the door was unlocked and the key to the mount hasn’t been seen since 2021.

I would jump on offering this guy your own leg for that payout. Just like swapping some fucking tires for a winter set for better traction

Man, cops are dumb as hell. "Hmm, I think I'll check the trunk" and "knowing how to jimmy a lock" don't exactly require a PhD lol

Thing is, they know exactly what they’re doing.

Lowell Hospital is a joke. They sent my father in law home and nearly bleed to death from a massive GI bleed.
Wasnt long ago maybe we should follow this since this hospital seems to have a history of this shit

That actually depends on the M16. M16A1 and M16A3 are the full auto variants. A2/A4 are safe-semi-burst. I imagine that most cops have either A4s or M4s which are also largely safe-semi-burst.

It was stated on channel 4 WBZ the cbs affiliate the day it happened. I’m sure they have not wanted to publicize it over and over again, it’s not a good look!

I’m not pro or anti gun - I definitely think there needs to be more effective regulation - but one thing that I see often is a dismissal of a comment like this guy’s. Something like “people writing the legislation obviously don’t know anything about guns!”
If some time is taken to gain education about the weapons and their characteristics, it would probably make it easier to draft more specific (and hopefully effective) legislation. It would also take away the “you don’t know anything about guns!” Defense used by a lot of pro gun people/groups whenever this conversation inevitably rears its ugly head again

Reply to comment by HeyaShinyObject in Greenland turns clocks forward for last,should Massachusetts/eastern US do the same by Hoosac_Love
Yep, and my rebuttal was that if it passed now (or even in the next few months) i believe orgs would have plenty of time to implement the change before the next clock change in the fall.

When this story first broke the police thought it were experts who broke into the vehicle because they knew exactly where to look and how to break the locks.
🤣🤣
14 and 15 year old experts 🤣🤣

Agreed they can be pricey. But you can also find a decent amount of rentals. Still have friends who have stayed 10 years later in Bristol. Certainly can be done.

I'm not worried about the electrical load, I'm talking about the compounding difficulties that a lot of people who live in 3 deckers simply in terms of parking needs.

It's 35 feet from my front door, which no one in the building uses, to the street. It is 125 feet from the garage, which no one has exclusive use to use. The driveway is 125 feet long and is only wide enough for one car, and the live-in landlord has exclusive parking except for snowstorms. The spaces in front of our building allow for 2 cars to park, but are shared with the 2 dozen or so other neighbors that live around us. There is also a sidewalk that would need to be crossed in order to charge the car.
If 7 cars were to need to be charged, how do you see that working?

It appears the police actually had a M4 Carbine , actually much more dangerous than a AR or Glock
It's beyond that

I haven’t thought about Harry’s in such a long time (moved east like 2010). Man I miss the Berkshires.

Remind me why it’s “safe” for Police to have Ar’s and Glocks but as soon as a normal person gets one it’s considered a “dangerous “ weapon
