**Second Amendment**:
MA House Sneaks Anti-Civil Rights Language into Unrelated Technology Bond Bill – Gun Owners Action League
Yesterday the Massachusetts House voted on a judicial technology bond bill that included some drastic changes to the Commonwealth’s gun licensing scheme. In a surprise move that surprised no one, with no warning the Democratic Leadership proposed the amendment, which had nothing to do with the bill, in the morning and by the afternoon rammed it through. Although Republican Leadership attempted to block the amendment, in the end it was included and the bill unfortunately passed with, disappointingly, some bipartisan support. You can find the roll call votes for both the amendment and the bill here:

Amendment adopted 120-33, final bill passed 146-7
This still has to go to the Senate for a vote.
Please contact your Representative IMMEDIATELY and let them know this is unacceptable and should not be passed. You can find your legislator's contact information here:
