If the dog was carrying an assault rifle, this never would have happened. If the people in the house had shot the police dog, they would be safe today.

There just weren't enough guns involved here. More guns would have prevented this. Extra magazines would have helped.

Keep digging in the snow! There must be more guns!

PS - The bullet in the house that they couldn't find is probably inside the person they couldn't wake up.

OMG, what fools. You guys really think you're being funny? I mean, you can't be serious. You must have some neanderthal genes in your system.

Grow up and get real.

Guess its too late to post before the first gun-nut comment now.

I just hope that the dog is really ok. Discharging a firearm so close could have hurt his hearing.

3 more of Mexico's Finest. Just here to make better lives for themselves.

Shooting the people Americans are too lazy to shoot.

Robbing houses Americans are too lazy to rob.

lol fk the dog, glad a HUMAN wasnt hurt or killed by the cops reckless action of using a canine to physically retrieve a gun from a snow bank. once the trained dog located the gun, the cop should have retrieved the gun, no matter if it was buried or not obviously the dog found it. police dogs are tools to be used property, not excuse a lazy cop for not wanting to go digging through snow getting his hands dirty.

the cop should be reprimanded and made to go through proper training on how to handle a police canine and properly do searches. accidents involving irresponsible cops are never excusable.

Got the guns and ammo in Texas. Texas was too crowded, so they headed north.

Don't worry, though, there are plenty more guns being handed out in Texas to keep our dogs safe.

I've been noticing your posts lately... I like your style! Truth with humor.

A police dog searching for a handgun in a Massachusetts snowbank early Saturday accidentally pulled the trigger with his paw...

And again, as always -- the gun did not come to life and send the bullet down the barrel all by itself!

Again, as always, the gun and bullets came from a Texas gunshop.

(Most snowbanks don't fire bullets into your house, even if a highly trained police dog is an expert marksman.)

Again, as always, the gun and bullets came from a Texas gunshop.

1) Where does it state the gun, or even the bullets, came from Texas? Please, quote the EXACT words that state where the gun and bullets came from.

2)It appears that you choose to ignore the words of the 2nd Amendment, which state specifically and un-ambiguously "The Right of the people to Keep and Bear Arms Shall Not Be Infringed".

Now, just to make this absolutely clear to even someone of your level of intelligence, every dictionary I have ever seen defines "infringed" as "limited"; "violated"; "trespassed upon"; etc, etc, etc, etc. If you want to ban guns -- then you need to get the Constitution of The United States of America amended, because those four words, "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED", are absolutely and specifically clear.

Thanks old dog.

Now it is not just the police that is using excessive force their dogs are too.

@CharlieChang

You are just gonna lie and make up facts and falsify events, and hope enough your your stupid political "kin" will believe it and push gun control measures.

Does that about sum yuo up? I say it does.

Dag -

This was a POLICE dog. Obviously he is exempt from any gun restrictions.

Charlie -

The gun was stolen in Manchester, New Hampshire.

several good ones in there.... excessive force, lol.

Guns don't kill people, Dogs with guns kill people.

someone should get all these armed dogs off the streets before they go bad and join the mob or gangs or mexican drug cartels.

BAD DOG!!!

now, someone rub his nose in it, he has to learn not to do that.

The dog is now on paid administative leave until the shooting can be fully investigated.

woke up the residents of the house to confirm no one was injured.

Why bother people when they are sleeping just to let them know that nobody was injured?

Police were unable to locate the bullet

Then how do they know it hit the house?

I can't teach my dog to get my shoes let alone shoot a gun. Truth is stranger then fiction.

there is no need for banning guns, just universal gun checks. the firearn had a defaced serial #, meaning it was purchased legally but then sold illegally to the kids in the ghetto.

Yeah, especially when a gun grabbing police dog shoots your house!

If we arm our parakeets, poodles, and toddlers we can stop this madness.

A police dog searching for a handgun in a Massachusetts snowbank early Saturday accidentally pulled the trigger with his paw...

What is about the fact that the gun did not just come to life and pull its own trigger that you do not understand, Charlie?

Okay, a parakeet probably can't pull a trigger.

No problem though, with a toddler.

A toddler would have trouble getting a gun - unless he was in a daycare in Texas!

And again with the anti-gun spew and a jab at Texas.... Tell you what, Charlie, take your act to Texas.

BTW, I ain't from Texas.

I thought guns in daycare was Rick Perry's solution.

The NRA endorsed this plan.

I was just giving Texas credit for this.

How can this endorsement be a "jab at Texas?"

How much Moveon.org paying you to spew your Obama-lama-ding-a-ling prozac/lsd laced koolaide rants eh Chawie?

Progressives, protecting criminals, gang members & crazies since 1934!

please clarify something for me, how is it possible for a criminal to get hold of a gun if he cant pass a background check

And it only took 9 posts before someone else saw that. I hope that since these honest, hard working and possible "undocumented" criminals have been arrested that the police check on their status to be in the country. If they are here illegally then once their prison sentences are return them to the country that they are citizens of.

Three illegal Mexicans. Should be the focus on this story.

Hey it doesn't say anything about them being from Mexico, idiot, where'd you get that idea, dumbass?

Don't be hasty. They could be Jeb Bush's grandchildren or Marco Rubio's cousins. If so, they will get off easy, like Jeb Bush's crack smoking Latina daughter.

And yet, the worst shootings in our country are committed by white, american men...

Hey, JustaPilot, how's that sequestration thing working out now -- y'know, the one that cut the funding that allowed to INS to round up them "illegals" and keep 'em in prison.

Quack, All I can say is WOW.

Today is Monday and already every department in the federal government has had there budget slashed. Nope, I don't buy that. You do realize that in another MSN article online right now that of the $85b in cuts it says only $42b will actually happen right. And, the money being spent now is coming from a "continuing resolution" that was passed months ago, so no the INS still does have the money to enforce our border. And also since the local cops caught these three so far it isn't costing the INS one nickle. And don't forget these three if they are here illegally probably didn't sneak in to the country last night, but rather probably months or even years ago.

So, yes the federal government does need to trim some fat, but I do not fall for the chicken little story coming from the white house.

Even thouhg the individuals are named Police are still trying to identify the three Hispanic young men...seems their serial numbers were rubbed off just like the guns.

@ Michael

"And yet, the worst shootings in our country are committed by white, american men..."

And according to reports most of them recently were Democrats or from Democrat leaning families...go figure.

Next

@Michael.

1. DC Snipers - John Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo

2. Ft. Hood - Hassan Nidal

I'm sure there are others. Nut cases come in all ethnic backgrounds! Nice try!

The MSM won't report this. And, even the clown (Biden) admits they can't enforce the current laws, so, how do they expect to enforce new ones?

Yeah, I hate all those liberal morons who own all those gun shops and sell guns at all those gun shows.

Wow, just wow. I do hope that when Charlie has something serious happen to him -- all he receives from anyone is tasteless and rude jokes.

Why are thee liberals morons just because the gun idiots say so ?? It just happens to be the liberals are much more educated than the extreme right that just has to have their toys regardless if how many innocents are killed . It show any one with coomon sese who the real morons are. Biden is correct in saying that a shotgun is a better defense gun than a semi-automatic assault type weapon. Cop cars usually carry shotguns instead of assault guns which usually is used by the swat cops.

Gun nuts forget that the second admentment says a "well regulated militia "which isn't the unregulated gun owners. NRA wants absolutly no regulation at all. Eveyone should be be able to own anything that can kill regardless what

Clayton, "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.". See that little comma after state. that makes your militia arguement a moot point. You "well educated" liberal gun grabbers make me laugh. It's funny that you know more about constitutional law than the Supreme Court, which by the way has ruled against your arguement on multiple occasions. So take your liberal arts degree and pound sand with it...... As far as I am concerned you can have all the tofu you want, so leave my hobby alone. Now run along or you will be late for your drum circle

Well said Ursa!! Sadly, with the overall disregard for punctuation, and what it conveys, in our txtspk times, the simplest ideas and meanings of language get completely overlooked by people who only see the words.

Clayton, reread what you wrote and HOW you wrote it and then try again to make a case for being more intelligent. To answer your question: No, liberals aren't morons because "the gun idiots say so", they're foolish AND selfish because they're trying to get legislation that will affect a huge chunk of the population passed on a bunch of "what-ifs?" and knee-jerk responses to tragic, unforseeable situations, instead of actually doing the work to make the system that's already in place better. They're also less-than-credible because they choose to ignore the facts. The facts are: 1) Criminals don't adhere to gun laws anyway, they often have full-auto and other military-grade weapons, more often than not purchased on the black market by illegal suppliers rather than stolen from legal gun owners. 2) Areas that have completely outlawed guns have the highest crime rates in America because the criminal element functions with no fear of retaliation from the citizenry. This nullifies the next stage of your argument... 3)That making it illegal for honest, responsible citizens to obtain certain weapons will keep them out of the hands of criminals who could steal them, or mentally unstable people who could obtain them legally(or otherwise) since the background check system isn't fully comprehensive. The bottom line is: if someone wants or needs a gun to commit an illegal act of any kind, there are plenty of ways OUTSIDE of the law for them to aquire one and that would STILL be the case if guns were banned completely. In that scenario, all you would be doing is disarming the public which would then let the criminals have free reign.

Banning certain firearms from the masses because a very small percentage MIGHT use them for nefarious purposes is ridiculous. Just like banning peanut butter from a school that has 800 students who love peanut butter because one or two students are allergic and could get sick or die. That seems to be the growing mentality among certain factions of Americans; deprive the majority for the sake of a few. It's ridiculous and anyone with any sense of personal accountability knows that that's no way to live. Nobody wants their rights infringed upon because a small minority can't handle responsibilty. Banning certain weapons that have multiple uses(hunting, sport, etc.) is not the way to go. Upgrade the checks and balances needed to obtain firearms so that someone who's shown that they may be a risk to themselves or others cannot legally obtain one. That, and shut down the cartels moving weapons across our borders and selling them on the black market and supplying criminal gangs. Any legislation that deprives responsible citizens of firepower equal to or greater than what the criminal element has is a potential death sentence for the "good guy". It's not just about "gun nuts" who "just have to have their toys", it's about the freedom for enthusiasts to enjoy their hobby, sportsmen to continue to practice their sport, and having viable protection if or when it's needed.

Plus, there's the whole "militia" thing; if or when it's ever neccessary to organize and rise up against a tyrannical government entity, we'll need more than single shot weapons or 5-round magazines. Most people laugh at the idea that we'd ever have to do that, but take a good look at what politics has become in this country, a 24/7 gravy train for those who have the money to keep it rolling, and those in positions of power and/or influence who want a piece of the action. What's good for the average American seems to factor into that equation less and less. Sadly, it's becoming more about backdoor deals and "what can I do for me?" instead of "what can I do for the people that elected me?", and that goes for both the left AND the right. How can we as a nation keep forgiving all the corruption that we've seen? No more than a month or two goes by without SOME politico from any level of government isn't in the news for doing something they shouldn't have. Geez, just look at Chicago, they can't catch a break lately!! I don't think most people realize that say, a citizen gets in trouble with the law, catches a felony case and is convicted, they do their time and get released to become a second-class citizen who can barely find a job that pays. If a politician finds himself in the same circumstances, well, they disappear for awhile until the heat dies down, and then they find another high-paying job in a different branch of government or, better yet, the private sector, where the real money is. Politics and corporate-level business are the only two jobs that someone could fail catastrophically at and still see a huge payday and the chance to do it all again somewhere else because they have connections. We see it happen all the time and people just don't believe we as a nation would EVER have a reason to stand up against our own government. I hope we don't, but to discount that possibilty just shows that you've already bought the party line and drank the proverbial Kool-aid. To bring it back to the gun issue: DON'T COUNT ON THE GOVERNMENT TO KEEP YOU SAFE, TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOURSELF. If someone puts a gun in your face on the street and all they want is your money, give 'em the money. But if you find someone in your home, try to detain them until the cops arrive. But, if there's more than one or if they act in a threatening manor or have a weapon, put two or three in their chest( which is kinda' the point of high-capacity magazines: one against a few without being outgunned). The world is probably better off without them anyway. Heartless? Yes. True? Most likely. Worth it to see your kid(s) graduate? Definately.

their not?

Well Purity, I don't assume that they were here illegally, but.... if they weren't illegal before they are now.

There is also a good chance that they ARE illegals. Maybe you are once since you seem to be so overly sensitive on that subject

Do you think the lamestream media would report it if they were illegal? Not politically correct.

So, Me-2179058, according to your logic, since I made a statement about people with Hispanic surnames being assumed to be illegal when there was NO mention of their resident status in the article, that MUST mean that I'm here illegally? How do you even make it through the day without tripping over your tongue? In your world is everyone who's of hispanic descent an illegal immigrant? Your thought process follows that someone who is strongly opposed to the death penalty being used on anyone, including child rapists, MUST be a child rapist because they're so "overly sensitive on (the) subject". You obviously didn't read my whole post before jumping to a ridiculous conclusion, which was kind of the point of my post in the first place. Way to go Slugger!! Since you've already proven yourself to be foolish, my guess is your next statement would be to further cast aspersions as to my citizenship so I'll save you the time. I was born at Genessee Hospital in Rochester, NY. Born here, to parents that were born here, to parents that were born here, and so on.

@JustaPilot- No doubt!! And they should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. If they in fact DO turn out to be illegal? Send 'em to Siberia. Sending them "home" on the taxpayer dime doesn't seem right to me. Send them somewhere they REALLY don't wanna' be and that is MUCH harder to get back from!!

@getoveryourself-I wouldn't know what is or isn't "lamestream media" or what they would or wouldn't report. The way I see it is that pretty much any "news" source is biased in some way, depending on who signs the checks(and THEIR affiliations on up the chain), but for people to just add things to a story that were never there, according to their own politics, is just plain dumb. Especially making assumptions based on their names. That would be like saying the three suspects in the story are scumbag mafia guys because their names are D'angelo, Costanza, and Tucci, instead of having Hispanic last names.

@MarkP-Really man? You still don't have a grip on the difference between "they're", "their", and "there"? Your diploma is a lie!!

Most attorneys are liberals. Liberals are only concerned with other peoples money.

In an ideal world the guy burying the gun would have accidentally shot himself and the bullet would have traveled through both the guys in the car killing all three. A man can dream can't he?

@Mark ; And most of the judges are Republicans and had been lawyers before they became judges so you are wrong with your comment.

Actually it will be illegal immigrants from the United States trying to sneak into Texas.

Do you have a cusp to go with that fossa?

@fossafun

According to my research, I am going to assume the noise of a close gunshot would cause the same amount of pain and temporary hearing loss in a dog as in a human.

"Contrary to popular belief, dogs cannot hear noises from miles away. Dogs and people hear noises coming from the same distance away... Dogs do go deaf for the same reasons that people go deaf."
