You know, because the terrorists in Boston obtained their gun legally . . . wait, no they didn’t.

Representative Carolyn Maloney (D., N.Y.) told MSNBC earlier today that gun-control legislation can prevent terrorist attacks like the one that occurred in Boston two weeks ago.

“One thing that Congress can do right now is pass the gun-safety laws,” she said. “As it stands right now, the next Tamerlan [Tsarnaev] can go to a gun show and buy all the guns he wants, all the weapons he wants, no problem, no questions asked. I think at the very least Congress should pass sensible gun-safety laws that law enforcement is asking for.“
