Sen. Harriette Chandler, 1st Worcester District, at the gun law hearing at Assumption college this morning:
I Commend you for acknowledging that it is critical that although Massachusetts has strictest laws in country, we must determine how we can improve and update these laws. I question whether there’s a one-size fits all solution. I agree with Governor Patrick’s bill to tighten access to high-powered rounds of ammunition and background checks before purchasing weapons at gun shows.
Our problem is seldom the lawful sportsman, but rather the unlawful individual who is hunting humans, not animals.
BINGO!
Chandler has nailed it on the head. Sportsmen can always hunt. We don’t want people hunting for people! Let’s ban guns with large magazines, guns that hold and shoot rounds and rounds of ammunition without the shooter needing to STOP to reload. Killing machines that are designed to blow people to smithereens – shatter them into hundreds of pieces of flesh – just like what happened in Newtown, CT, where beautiful, innocent school children died horrific deaths. Their families/their community lived though – are still living – through hell! The massacre of all those school children might have been prevented (or at the very least cut down) if the madman did not have access to a high-powered gun that did not need to be reloaded, a killing machine that allowed him to keep shooting and shooting and shooting. He created hell in 12 minutes because he used a killing machine. A gun made for war. What place do guns like these have in our homes, our society?
TIGHTEN OUR GUN LAWS! NOW!

Allison Wyatt, 6( Facebook / December 18, 2012 ) Allison Wyatt was a six-year-old student of Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown.
Kate Capellaro of All for Kids in Ridgefield last saw Allison over the summer and described her to the New Haven Register: “She was a very shy girl, she was quiet and kept to herself, but she would smile at things. If a kid did something funny, she’d be laughing.” … To see more photos of the children whose murder might have been prevented if the madman had not had access to high powered gun that did not need to be reloaded, that allowed him to keep shooting and shooting and shooting.
