Deadly Weapon

It isn’t always what you think:

A Lynn man was shot and killed by police after an incident in which the car the suspect was riding in rammed a police vehicle, officials said.

About 9:30 last night, officers observed Brandon Payne walking with a weapon in the area of Essex Street, according to a statement from Lynn police. Payne then got into a car with other men inside. Police attempted to stop that car and another vehicle that was following the first car, police said.

Cars can be used as deadly weapons, and we all know that they can be VERY effective as such. Also Massachusetts, the land of gun control:

The suspects are charged with assault with a dangerous weapon (the motor vehicle) and firearm charges.

Chances are they were prohibited people, didn’t have permits, and probably were engaged in other illegal activities (hence why police were watching them in the first place)….odd that all the gun laws in Massachusetts didn’t stop this, and odder still that the deadly weapon employed in this attack was NOT a gun, but a car!

    Well we need to ban any car that can travel over 55mph! And those big Assault Vehicles!! (SUVs) They are made so they can take out entire crowds quickly!!

    Cops and other professionals are the only ones that NEED them!!

      That argument is so on par with the anti’s AWB argument. Because when I’m driving though the suburbs at 35 I don’t need to look out for kids playing in the street because that wouldn’t even hurt at all! 8)

    And now another mass killing, 13 dead, 10 injured. I think I’m getting on board with the ban
