Boston police recover loaded long rifle during arrest in Dorchester

Woooo loaded! Long rifle! <eyeroll>

Oh the horror!! A 22!!

Did they poopie their pants?

They would in my house. I'd definitely make the news at 5. LOL

Are you guys not looking at the link....It is a black and scary rifle. It had 23,,,,yes 23 bullets loaded. The man left it alone leaned up against a fence. If that rifle had gotten away there is no telling how much carnage it would have caused. You can not trust those kind of rifles.

The story didn't say he was PP so I wonder if maybe he just moved into the state. Also was he arguing with folks or maybe just showing them his rifle. I am not saying the guy is bad or good but a 22 is not a big deal to us older folks. I remember kids used to take out their 22's in their back yard and shoot them. Of course not in Dorchester.

A guy who buys a Mossberg 715 can be presumed to be not very smart in the first place.

Interesting that they chose the use the word "recover'".

 

[eboos]

Surprised the article didn't say "modeled after the M4, which is used by Special Forces and other elite military units."

Right. Did they lose it in the first place?

 

[ReluctantDecoy]

Are those dual charging handles or is the classic AR style there for show only considering the one on the bolt itself?

So I was at a workplace event today and they did security compliance training. Active shooter incidents were discussed. And one person asked if there was an increase in the number of workplace active shooter events.

Here is his answer...

"No, There are not more work place shootings happening. They are just being reported more."

So no increase....just more coverage...

Anyway, nice rifle. Great for plinking.

At least it's not one of those scary 15-22's
that are prone to actual Accidental Discharges.

 

[VetteGirlMA]

I'm surprised that the article didn't puff up the piece by proclaiming that the bullets were cop killer .22s

 

[Waher]

And no charges for violating the Boston AWB. Gee it’s like that ordinance is for only intimidating the law abiding and criminals have nothing to worry about.

LTFY.

 

[lowbuckbob]

Was it military grade??????

 

[Matt_SERE]

Clearly written by a Fudd journalist who took the .22 LR and ran with it.

 

[Waher]

LTFY.

By that ordinance rifle magazines over 10 rounds are verboten to Boston residents regardless of preban status and whether or not the rifle itself is on the banned list.

 

[FPrice]

When in doubt...go to the Internet!

What a coincidence Boston Long Rifle is my Asian Porn name.

I believe since that would be a post ban >10 round magazine it's considered large capacity in all of MA. Only tube fed 22 rifles don't have a capacity limit IIRC. (after all, MA laws are so screwed up that if you don't deal with it all the time they get even more confusing)

Boston has an additional ordinance on top of state law. The ordinance is never enforced against actual criminals. The city can't even be bothered to collect the fine while going balls to the wall to fine little old ladies for not shoveling their sidewalks after a noreaster. That's my complaint, it's nothing more than an unconstitutional ordinance meant to turn residents into second class citizens compared to nonresidents and intimidate the law abiding.
