High court hears challenge to Mass. weapons storage law

Full story: Brattleboro Reformer

Gun control proponents argued before the state's highest court Thursday that a Massachusetts law requiring gun owners to lock weapons in their homes saves lives while gun advocates pointed to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling holding that people have a constitutional right to keep weapons for self-defense.

I suggest you don't lock up your guns. Just leave 'em around. Kids never snoop, the guns'll prob'ly be safe.

Seriously. One or several of you will be removed from the gene pool, thereby improving humanity.

It's a small price to pay for protecting your god-given 2nd amendment right. Show 'em you're a man.

Sorry, New Clear Waste (of everyone's tme):

Education doesnt stop once the kids r home from school. U "Nanny-staters" who think "the State" should be responsible for everything need to just move to CHINA - where thats true! AMERICA will REMAIN the Land of the FREE...

"Educated Children" dont play with Firearms. If Parents dont have time: Get them an NRA Certified "Childrens Gun Safety Course". Now THAT makes Sense!!

And yes, MASS. LAW IS UNCONSTITUIONAL - NOT up to U -or the socialist state of MASS.! MASS. "WILL" be forced to drop their socialist rhetoric - soon. Hang in there, Grassroots Supporters!!

Bye-Bye, Socialists...:)

Why do these armed and knife types break into the houses of gun owners. Maybe that they are had workers and take care of there property as compared to others that don't keep things up as well and piles of stuff around and a run down property they thief figures well who got the nice things to steal. from my advantage over looking my view of them coming or going I kept 2 clips handy.

why the hell should you be required to lock your own weapons up?!?!?! that's stupid, just like the first post said, you are expected to have to unlock your weapons in the case that someone breaks into your house?!?! that's friggin ridiculous.. if you have a problem with your kids being around weapons, then either lock them up on your own, TEACH them PROPER weapon safety, or don't own any!!!! the socialist gov of mass needs to stay outta peoples household business, what's next they're gonna mandate how you have your house set up with furniture? get a grip people!!!

and guns don't kill people, people that are out to kill kill people and if you think you can make it illegal to own weapons and expect that criminals wont get or have them you're dumb!!! drugs are illegal and look how many people get them anytime they want them..
