Finally one of the people he worked with stopped at a red light traffic light, some one got out of the car in front, came up to him aiming a gun at him. He got out and the car was stolen.
This was in a period of less than a year in Boston, this is an area considered to be low crime.

you need a gun to go robbing, was that the point you were making?
The more people that carry guns the more the chance of someone being shot for something stupid... giving the bird, even defending yourself could lead to you being shot instead of robbed.
I cant see the USA being rid of guns and mass shootings for years to come.
Guns to protect you at home..... as long as the gun stays at home and you can only fire on someone inside your home.... I think I can live with that but may need to give it more thought
