Lowell PD is so pathetic, anything to punish a gun owner. We have a state full of homes with natural gas pumped into them, but oh no, you can't have more than a few pounds of gun powder, oh no. Black powder is an explosive, but smokeless powder doesn't go boom it only burns, makes no sense.

Though fresh anger over this is always a good thing, it has been posted here along with Comm2a's support:

The "authorities" in this state sure love to dog-pile on victims.

whew- what a relief- I thought that the courts had made their (expected) ruling in this case.

Reading the links above, I'm surprised your gun rights orgs down there haven't filed suit on behalf of Lowell gun owners. Lack of challenges empowers people in power to trample Constitutional rights.

While their victim could ultimately be sentenced to what, 10 years?
