Funny how no one’s problems come from inside the state
Having blamed New Hampshire, now Boston wants to blame Maine’s lax err reasonable gun laws for highest murder rate in years:
For the last five months, a 252-foot billboard near Fenway Park has been warning Boston motorists that Maine and its lax gun-control laws help supply local criminals with their weapons.
Even before the billboard went up, Boston officials had been pointing fingers north, saying that Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont must stop what they said had become a pipeline of illegal guns flowing into the city.
But what neither the huge sign beside the Massachusetts Turnpike nor city officials have revealed is exactly how many people buy guns in Maine to illegally resell in Massachusetts or to commit other crimes there.
Is Maine also sending the murderers?

Up here in NH, nobody who lives further north than Manchester would go to Boston for anything less than a court ordered appearance. Maine doesn’t seem to love them either.
You just know they’d claim the same thing if Boston were surrounded for 200 miles o every side with desert.
