They seemed to have quite a bit of fire power. Al Qaeda has pointed out in the past how easy it is for potential jihadists to come to America and obtain guns.

If the Boston bombers did acquire their weapons legally, I suppose they were in fact law-abiding gun owners....until they weren't?

Just like so many others who have used their legally obtained firearms to commit murder in the United States.

America does indeed have a gun problem.
