Interesting bit was brought to my attention today found in the 1905 report of the State Police advocating for control of concealed weapons due to the vicious foreigners' customs.
Gee! Once again, The words of a Yankee, Bigot, WASP pushing for the controlling of the "foreigners". This is exactly what happen here in New Hampshire that created the "Revolver and Pistol License" which was done at the behest of the mill owners.
Connecting gun control laws with their roots in racism, is something that should be mentioned more often. Imagine a challenge to MA's suitability that it was founded on, and is fundamentally, racist and therefore unconstitutional. The MA courts would be faced with a no win situation and in today's climate would likely put an end to suitability.
I can only assume that all the old white MA chiefs who have the last call on discretionary licensing are wildly racist (because they’re white). Time to toss the whole system.
One person who decides if you get to exercise a right is unconstitutional. RIGHTS do not need a reason or forms to be filled out.
The entire system is corrupt and unconstitutional. These laws are all based on personal feelings of law makers who do not hold the oath of office.
