    MA has one of the lowest rates of gun deaths in the US. If other states had our gun death rate, 27000 lives/yr would be saved. Our 7 common-sense Massachusetts gun laws are consistent w the 2nd Amendment and are all shown to make living w guns safer.http://apps.bostonglobe.com/opinion/graphics/2018/03/seven-steps/ …

        And with the gun violence that MA does have, am willing to bet most of those guns came from states like mine (Vt) who have extremely lax gun safety laws and where guns are often trafficked for drugs. :(

        It might be tough to get a gun in MA, but it's not tough to get a MA-made gun. As one of the speakers at today's #marchforourlives pointed out, Smith & Wesson, makers of the AR-15 used for mass murder in Parkland, is based in Springfield, MA. Melt the guns.

        Wow - apply that to your Opiate death rate of 29-31.6 deaths per 100,000 citizens and you could really save lives! Imagine if we applied your common sense laws to rest of Bill of Rights - apply for permission/fingerprinted/registry to get abortion, give a speech, etc!

        Yes Massachusetts is unique. Trump the Insane, the amoral GOP, the so-called religious Pence, & the Int’l Crime Family would not like Mass. Marijuana is legal!

        Why, Atale, does MA not do the logical thing and ban all guns except those held by law enforcement and military? You already reduced gun death rate would immediately go down to virtual zero. That is the experience of Britain, since the Dunblane massacre of many years ago.

        Then why not? Let's buck up and do something. I am tired of telling my kids that it is "too complicated" to get anything done.

        Massachusetts ranks 14th to 18th for violent crime depending on the data source and calculations. So if you are comfortable living in a state that doesn't allow the public the natural right of self defense and you twice as likely to be a victim than somebody in TX then good 4 U

        Gun-death rate relative to no other likely causes like income distribution, entitlement support per citizens, percentage of low income minorities, racial composition, ... Correlation is surely Cause? Careful consideration of other causes and counter arguments?

        Problem is common sense. Simple math is US has a lot of guns,loose laws & consequences. Same rates of mental illness. Nothing mystical about crossing the Canada border but they don’t share our problem. Interesting? Small % Americans join NRA yet the NRA influences policy for all
