First - control the ammunition. Second - Want to go on a killing spree with an all plastic gun? I don't. The .22 short it is pictured with might be safe enough, but forget any high powered cartridge. Ammunition control is even harder in the US than gun control, tons of ammo out there already, tons ...

Tell me again how gun control will stop criminals from owning guns, as the technology to print...

Compare this to the Dorner debacle.... the hammer was brought down hard and efficiently on these motherfuckers and it looks like at least one will survive to answer for their crimes. Way to go, Boston.

Shots fired in Watertown. Suspect has possibly been surrounded, in a boat parked in someone's driveway. Radio silence. Something big is going down.

IR monitoring for later?

Apparently a handful of them, landing and taking off again at the staging area.

Blackhawk helicopter just landed at the Arsenal Mall in Watertown.

Looks like we do have trucks there after all. A couple of ALS trucks and several BLS units. I'm pretty close to the city, there's a chance I might end up being called in to the staging area.

The hostage was dropped off when the suspects stopped to get gas. That just illustrates what's wrong with guns. They didn't feel like harming someone, who was face to face with them, but they were happy to maim and kill lots of people from a distance. That's what guns and bombs do. They make killin...

Eh. They have vests, I don't.

Boston EMS has "taken over" Watertown. The company I work for usually covers that area, and due to the shutdown of the boston area we're down a lot of trucks. If Boston EMS hadn't decided to swoop in there I'd be there now as part of one of the few available crews.

Lot of conflicting reports, sounds like its chaos in the city right now. Sounds like currently 1 dead suspect, 1 dead officer, and the 2nd suspect being tracked down in the Watertown area.

One's been sent to Obama, too: http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/ ... story.html

On here, it's just posturing. Just posturing, indeed. Way to go man, you've shown how much of an Internet Badass you can be by saying something that's totally edgy and against the grain. You keep on with your bad self. Continue to contribute absolutely nothing positive to society, continue to be a ...

I am not caught up in this thread, and I don't think I want to be. My parents had called yesterday while I was at rehearsal, and I just got the message that my sister's sister-in-law was running the race, and was at mile 23 when the explosions happened. She was evacuated in a bus. My sister, her hu...

I'm comfortable with firearms, I'm ok with cops... but the sight of cops armed with AR-15s standing guard outside the Beth Israel ER today, a place I've been to so many times... it's just unsettling.
