Boston Gun Courts

Another interesting strategy in the People's Republic of Massachusetts. Specifically in the gun terrorized Boston. They want a court that deals only with firearms cases.
Two new courts will be established to exclusively prosecute firearms cases, Suffolk District Attorney Daniel Conley announced Thursday, saying it will speed trials and stem the rising gun violence that has struck the city.

Conley reached a deal Thursday with Chief Justice Charles Johnson of the Boston Municipal Court to create the "gun courts," which he said would get criminals off the street faster, improve public confidence in police, and deter would-be criminals.

"All we need to do is take note of what's going on in the city of Boston today to realize where the priority needs to be ... getting a handle on guns and gun-related violence," he said.
I'm not sure I agree that a special court will deter gun crime if regular enforcement of the law hasn't made a difference.

Not sure how it will really help, since it's obviously NH's fault that all these nasty dangerous guns are getting into innocent pristine Boston.
