Hell even if they had a license to carry it probably would have been restricted to some form of no carry like most of us. sheesh.

Boston Terrorists did not have gun permits

Indeed. I find it odd when survivors are given attributes such as bravery or heroism. With no disrespect to victims of attacks or police officers shot in the line of duty, the mere fact of surviving indicates neither bravery nor heroism, even though the actions they took prior to or subsequent to being injured may have done so.
Technically, there's no such thing as a "gun permit" in MA. Or NH. They're called Licenses. A subtle but important distinction.
Secondly, I don't see how it would create any tailwinds for gun control. But I caught this link on Drudge this morning: Report: Suspects not licensed to own guns - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room
So the fact that they were not duly licensed, and even if they were duly licensed, they're not authorized to start shooting at cops, means that we need to have one more law, just one more law, and that will stop Chechen terrorists from acquiring firearms and using them to shoot at police? What's the name of this law and how does it work?

Probably. Cambridge and Watertown are both super-red, IIRC. Even if there were no restrictions (and again, IIRC, there's no "restrictions" per se with the FID, it's only applicable for LTC issuances (the OC-restricted FID notwithstanding) doesn't mean you can do unlawful things with your firearms/sprays.
Said differently, if you receive an LTC, you can't rob a bank. You can't murder people. It's a license for lawful purposes.
you're new to this massachusetts place, aren't you?
it's the "for the children".
I was there for 27 years. Left in 2011 for NH.
You see, if all transfers had to go through background checks, they would never have gotten illegal firearms and there would never be a straw purchase. Don't you know that these things are flooding MA from lawless states like VT and NH? It's not just children, it's the NRA giving guns to terrorists! -(insert name of quote attribution of your favorite anti)
I heard rumors that the one in the boat was pro-gun control as well. Anyone else catch that?
Apparently not pro bomb-control or pro don't-kill-innocent-people control though. There ought to be a law...
Oh wait... there is.![[hmmm]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/009.gif "Hmm [hmmm]")

And an Obama supporter. Which would make sense since the majority of immigrants, especially from Asia and Europe, lean left or are downright socialistic.
If I remember correctly, most criminals get their guns from straw purchases. It might even be a majority. Other sources are stolen from owner and obtained via sale from other criminals (who obviously won't be running a BC from their van).
Horrible

What are they going to say? That gun owners having liability insurance would have stopped these bombings? That is about all they have right now.
If they had anything to say that fits their bull$hit false narrative, they would have come out with it minutes after the bomb blasts last Monday, like they did after Newtown.
In the last 5 Seconds of the vid suspect no2 manipulates what looks to be a rifle. Hard to tell what kind. Also flashbang goodness.
That's the shredded tarp blowing in the wind.
All you have to do is point out that explosives are even more heavily regulated than guns. That didn't stop them from making them and using them.
It is simple to make a decent plastic explosive. Some Potassium chlorate and vaseline and your good. The hard part is getting the blasting cap to detonate it. And finding the Potassium chlorate. I don't think the hardware store carries that![[laugh]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/012.gif "Laugh [laugh]")

And here is a list of laws pertaining to explosives.

The fact is they had no licenses which helped our cause. That's the point. I am also going to go out on a limb that here will be many more gun owners in Watertown after they spent the weekend cowering in their homes. This is the stuff we need to focus on wih our message. i worked the post marathon event as a deployed soldier so spare me the conspiracy theories.
I guess that's the only silver lining to this whole debacle - people becoming more aware of the limitations of government (that's not a critique, just an observation) and with this new-found knowledge, will probably have a renewed interest in becoming lawful, licensed, peaceable gun owners.
