Since 1998, gun crime in Massachusetts has gotten worse, not better. In 2011, Massachusetts recorded 122 murders committed with firearms, the Globe reported this month — “a striking increase from the 65 in 1998.” Other crimes rose too. Between 1998 and 2011, robbery with firearms climbed 20.7 percent. Aggravated assaults jumped 26.7 percent.
"Yet the death rate in Massachusetts is low not just because of good hospitals and favorable demographics.."
Please. Go on to describe your "favorable demographics".
(btw this is the Globe, not Herald)
"All high-powered, semiautomatic rifles and high-capacity magazines are banned for civilian use"
Do they not realize that in Mass we've been buying semi auto rifles and standard capacity magazines for years? At least pre-Healey we were.
How does Ma compare with the rest of New England. I believe Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont all have less gun laws than Ma.
