Mass. Gubernatorial Race and Gun Control

I spoke briefly with representatives of both campaigns.
The Healey Campaign does not wish to change the laws now in effect, withone exception.
She wishes to have the License approval and disapproval of licences done by the Department of Public Safety but the processing would still be handled by the local police.
Actually this is a positive thing if you life in a town where permits are 'not given'
Deval Patrick's rep. gave to me a totally vague answer. I couldn't repeat it if I wished to something about 'doing what is necessary to keep guns out of the wrong hands.'
Ouch. Too dangerously vague for me..
Perhaps if one merely could enforce the laws on the books-which one can't without a house to house search.
Such methods would never be allowed.
