Boston, MA –-(Ammoland.com)- Residents of Boston do not need shotguns or rifles, according to Boston Police Commissioner William Evans.
Boston’s top cop made that statement Wednesday on Boston Public Radio in response to Massachusetts state senator Stan Rosenberg’s position that there are already “sufficient controls” on long guns at the federal level, giving no need for new state laws that grant police additional powers to deny ownership to citizens.

According to WGBH, Evans responded:
I don’t agree with that. Having long guns–rifles and shotguns–especially here in the city of Boston. I think we should have, as the local authority, some say in the matter. [And] the federal [government] doesn’t really allow us to have the discretion that we want in these particular cases.
…For the most part, nobody in the city needs a shotgun. Nobody needs a rifle.
Police have been urging lawmakers in Boston to restore a provision to a gun bill allowing them to deny someone a license to own a rifle or shotgun even if the person passes a background check.
The Massachusetts House voted to give police those powers, but the senate later stripped that section out of the bill. Lawmakers are now expected to attend a conference committee, where the dispute could kill the bill altogether
Am not saying one way or another, but let us remember, it has been quite a few years now, to many to remember, but I would guess 10 to 15 years, That some one had stolen or some how got there hands behind a engine running , greyhound bus , or the likes of. And was having a good old time running into cars and playing pinball wizard with said bus in Boston, right in the good old heart of Boston. Now I recollect the Number of rounds being fired at that bus, and recall seeing video footage of said drama. The number of rounds going off was in the hundreds, semi auto fire 9 mm pistols, and you could guess, that all these rounds were not hitting the bus. I also remember that no by stander was hit ( I may be wrong on that one), but you could guarantee, that buildings were being hit. So This was go time , and let the lead fly. My question here is, what has changed in these human police man/men to prevent this from happening in a similar circumstance. And the decision here would be , is it a better or worse thing to have semi auto rifles going at it "go time" in a similar manner. Well the sarg is letting loose, I might as well go for it to. Tough question, no easy answer.
I have watched some of the training on the range of the "transit" police.
I don't want to be disrespectful but I think I would feel safer with the Jr rifle team stepping in when transit police need rifle work done....just a observation.

Is it just the picture or does he have that eotech shoved in his eye?

Just the usual squad car or SUV.Mr Mayor is going to find a meter maid on a Segway watching his house tonight
I wish I could understand their training regimen. I was at a range this past week with a Police Firearms instructor in the next bay. (I know because he had "Firearms Instructor" on the back of his vest.) He had two students and I kid you not, were walking up to their oversized silhouette targets with M4's and firing from 10' away.After qualifying with my PD for 17 yrs, with many of those years doing 2 quals/year and doing 1 qual with MPTC, I have to say that the most dangerous place to be is anywhere near a range in use by police.
There are LEOs who are safety-conscious and good shooters, but the vast majority are spray and pray even with handguns. And some have a propensity to handle their guns while people are downrange, I've seen it happen many times.
yeah but when they forget to pick them up after going to the bathroom or leave them propped up against the donut counter, you have a good chance of finding a better gun. Screw PokemonExactly right....they'll go to the MP5's....more taxpayer dollars
BPD doesn't have armor in their cars? I know in my town all officers wear low-level armor and have level 4 plates in their trunks. Not sure if they carry rifles.The union letter asked for new panels for body armor as well, presumably the kind of ceramic plates used by the mil. Think that's a cost issue.
If someone took a front bike tire and stuck it in my face I would grab the wheel and bash their face with the handlebars, lol. Not a super effective defense.I tried to find something on YouTube, this is quite something Fast forward the video to 1 minute. [video=youtube_share;xcMCmdZnXHU]http://youtu.be/xcMCmdZnXHU[/video]
While it's fairly humorous given the AG shit, I also don't want some patrolman outgunned just because I'm salty about some shit. I have interacted with many BPD officers, and have had to privilege to wrestle with drunks and crazies alongside them. They've saved my ass on a few occasions. They should be armed and armored appropriately.
+1"long guns" hmmm. Interesting how they change the terminology to suit their needs.
