I sure hope Obama doesn't put Boston under marshal law, & use this to forcefully start taking away everyone's guns. Cause it will only start another civil war.


Show some respect. Or at least some restraint. The bodies aren't even counted and you've politicized this tragedy.




Respect? I have not disrespected anyone.
It is a tragic incident, but do you think this would be the 1st time that the government haven't done something like this in the past ?

Don't go by emotions, but by train of thought.

Um, everything I"ve read so far has indicated it was explosions, guns aren't even involved in this incident (from the sound of it).

It's kinda wayyy offtopic.

So what? After what just happened, do you have a problem with the government going to extra measures of security or something?

Why would explosives and bombings be relevant to gun control laws?

u should probably place a NSFW or NSFL (a little weak but still) for the deadspin link. I'm sure there's posters here who can't handle it.

Unfortunately, it's looking more and more like it was an act of terrorism, whether that's from an American or not, that will take some time to see. However, in addition to the two that went off, police officials have found 3 more bombs that were undetonated. They did a controlled explosion on one of them and are going to dismantle the other two. 5 bombs planted in a large collection of people, I don't see how that can't be considered an act of terrorism.

I feel so sick, this is just disgusting, people are disgusting.

Also just read, that apparently, Newtown families were in a section right by the explosion.
