Why haven't we heard about the guns used to kill a Boston graduate of the police academy and M.I.T. officer?
Reports were that there were 200 rounds fired in a multi-personnel exchange.
Neither of the bombers were legally allowed to have firearms.
How did they get the guns?
What kind of guns did they have?
Did they use high-capacity magazines?
Were the guns purchased at a gun show? Online?
Were the guns purchased using a straw buyer (indicating accomplices in the terrorist act)?
These are very pertinent questions. . .
The elder brother was not legally allowed to have firearms due to a previous conviction according to some internet rumors. . .the reality has simply not been reported. The youth was not legally allowed to have firearms due to his age and Massachusetts state law.

Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev rode through the suburbs of Boston with a weapons arsenal that included homemade bombs and grenades, as well as guns and a rifle, Watertown Police Chief Edward Deveau said Saturday.
--was it an AK-47?
7:36 PM PT: Teacherken thinks that this isn't correct. But he doesn't know what he is talking about because in 2009 the elder brother Tamerlan was arrested in a domestic violence dispute. Since Massachusetts state law requires all green card holders to get an annual permit to own a gun, that is checked through the FBI, it is highly unlikely that the handguns were purchased legally. The younger brother was too young to buy the handguns. Suffice it to say that this is a major part of the story that is not being reported on.
