Not to be debbie downer or anything, but if this passes, my plan will be to vote with my feet outta this state and to let the liberals and criminals hash everything out without me.
Maybe their plan to get gun owners (who want to keep their guns) to move out?
I don't get it.?. We are such a small voting block, compared to the Free-Stuff groups. What's their motive?
Are gun owners making life too dangerous for their criminal buddies? None of this makes any sense.
51% of America Voters care nothing for their Freedoms.
They want a Leader they think is cool, and they want their handouts.
Note carefully I did say say they want a PRESIDENT who is cool. They are beyond that. A Dictator would suit them just fine.
Our Government Officials DO PICK AND CHOOSE which Laws they choose to enforce, and which they choose not to.It doesn't matter if there are only 100 lawful gun owners in MA. The second amendment is our Constitutional right. It is not about what the majority believes. Have you ever noticed all of the handicapped ramps? Ever see one being used? People with disabilities are a tiny little fraction of the population, but it is their right to have access to public places. That is the law. So, every business owner that has a business open to the general public must adhere to the law to protect the rights of people with disabilities, even if they don't agree with it. All of our MA politicians will vehemently uphold the Americans with Disabilities Act. The US Constitution is much greater than an Act of Congress. So, EVERYONE must respect the second amendment even if they don't agree with it. Our MA politicians should defend the second amendment with as much or more vigor. That is their oath of office. They can't pick and choose which rights they uphold and defend. If they do, they violate the oath of office. That should be a criminal offense. If they violated the American's With Disabilities Act, they would be run out of town. They same is true of the Second Amendment.

If the mag ban does pass I will either rent a 5x5 self store in NH or get a safety deposit box up there to put them in, a 5x5 is about $37 a month and a safety deposit box, 10 inches wide by 5 inches high and 24 inches deep is about $115 a year.
Of course if they do that same thing nationwide, outlawing them then you can only bury them somewhere. God I hope this doesn't pass.
Probably done late at night when everyone is sleeping like they did in NY. Then you get the shaft when you wake up.
I was told the same as well as honest confusion expressed by legislators as to how NY accomplished that and certainty that it could not and would not be done here.FWIW I was told that there will be a public comment period and hearings. I was urged by one of my Reps to attend. I suggest the same for anyone that can make it. We need to stay vigilant and pay attention to where these bills are in the legislature. Further, once a committee is formed, we need to get on them. HARD.

That said, we should not wait to make we put pressure on them to do the right thing here and accept that "doing something" isn't the right response.
100% Agreed. We need to mail letters/call/visit/meet/email every god damn person in that legislature we can, regardless if they are from your distirct or not. Immediately and relentlessly.
The goal = get these pieces of shit thrown out at the committee stage and not even hit the floor for a vote.
Excellent link, Thanks
read this link. That ruger link is for federal legislation. We have our hands full in MA right now and that's where we need to be concentrating.

Just because they do, doesn't mean they are permitted to. It is tolerated and nobody raises hell about it. The tiny fraction of Americans with disabilities raise hell every day for compliance with the ADA. Sometimes, this is one person in a town. When that happens, there is instant compliance. Unfortunately because our cause is not popular, we have to have numbers and yell our demands louder. This is no different than discrimination against a person of color in an all white predominantly racist community. Just because politicians in that hypothetical community don't enforce civil rights doesn't mean they are permitted to violate a person's civil rights. Once we decide we do not uphold the rights and freedoms guaranteed by the US Constitution, it is fair game to violate the rights of anyone we choose.Our Government Officials DO PICK AND CHOOSE which Laws they choose to enforce, and which they choose not to.
I could cite you a hundred examples, with ease.
America is no longer a Nation of Laws.
I wonder how many of the people here screaming rebellion over a 7 round mag limit here are already telling the .gov to pound sand and have PMags. Whats the difference between 10 and 20/30 now? Food for thought.
