Bombers didn't have permits for their guns

Less than a week after the push by Democrats push for more gun control went down in flames in the Senate, Reuters is reporting the suspected Boston Marathon bombers ignored gun laws that are already on the books in possessing the firearms they used in shootouts with the police.
According to Reuters, "The two brothers suspected in the Boston Marathon bombings, who police say engaged in a gun battle early Friday after a frenzied manhunt, were not licensed to own guns in the towns where they lived."
This means the handguns and "at least one rifle" the brothers had with them were acquired and possessed in ways that broke laws already in existence.
For example, to have acquired and possessed the firearms legally, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the elder brother, would have first needed "to apply for a gun license with the local police department where he lived in Cambridge, Massachusetts."
In Massachusetts, a Firearms Identification Card (FID) is required before buying, transporting, or possessing a firearm.
Another example of how new gun control laws will not deter criminals who have been ignoring the old laws for years.

I know you are all as shocked as I am about this. I bet they didn't have a bomb making permit either.

Uh oh. They're in trouble now.

This aspect of the story strengthens the terrorist cell theory. Having been an active participant in the Northeast Shooters forum, I can say with confidence that a legal Massachusetts resident would not have sold the firearms to either of the terrorists in a private transaction.

There is also the question of how they financed their lifestyles, being unemployed and not living with parents. My suspicion is AQ.

More like we are in trouble now. Don't you know that it's our fault these criminal dirtbags acquired their illegal guns illegally?

Time to pass more gun laws.

[DryBones]

I can't believe their guns haven't been linked to a gun show in Chantilly yet...oh wait...give the MSM time.

Hmm, criminals breaking the law, hmm.

Did they have a permit for the pressure cookers that they used to make the bombs with? The liberals will focus on the police officer that was killed with the gun but how about the 3 that died and over one hundred seriously injured by everyday items like a pressure cooker, nails and ball bearings?

Oh, they'll focus on that, too. At least, on where they got the stuff that made the other stuff go *boom*.

[TacticalMom]

Wow there is a shocker... Glad that was cleared up. Criminals not listening to the laws. Well whoda thunk it?

[GeneralG]

just get ready for pressure cookers, ball bearings, nails, backpacks, and white and black hats to be banned next
