Police Say Boston Bombing Suspects Didn't Have Gun Licenses

Gun control in action

The two brothers suspected of bombing the Boston Marathon and engaging in a massive firefight with police last week weren't licensed to own guns, according to a report.

Cambridge, Mass., police told Reuters they had not issued a gun license to 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who died after the firefight. The police departments in both Cambridge and Dartmouth said they didn't issue 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev a firearms identification card, which would've allowed him to own rifles holding less than 10 rounds and shotguns. Dzhokhar, who is under 21, wasn't eligible for a regular handgun license.
