Titled: "Protecting the Rights We Cherish"
Friend,
The Supreme Court’s disastrous decision to overturn Roe v. Wade is harming millions of women across the nation. The stories we’re hearing from Republican-controlled states are devastating, and it’s tragically only the start.
Over the past couple weeks, we’ve taken swift action to respond to the decision. This is how it went:
We voted to protect abortion rights once and for all. 209 Republicans voted no.
We voted to protect access to birth control. 195 Republicans voted no.
We voted to protect same-sex and interracial marriage. Over 150 Republicans voted no.
As a mother, those votes terrify me. The fact that nearly every Republican in Congress is willing to put politics above the rights that the American people cherish is infuriating.
I’m fully committed to the fight to protect the rights of my daughters – the rights of all our children. We will not go back.
Sincerely,
Lori Trahan

Problem with MA gun owners is many are a bunch of useless idiots that support more government.Good idea to take people shooting (why I got an Instructor license) but that is always going to be very limited.
The Free State Project in NH believes they are making a difference with 25,000 people out of a population of 1.4 million. 1.85%.
There are roughly 350,000 licensed gun owners In MA out of a population of 6.9 million. 5%. But we can’t do anything. If every one of us wrote one letter a year, it would make a difference. If some of the people here put the same effort into legislative action they do to complaining here, we’d be moving in a more positive direction.
Massachusetts: The Whiner State.

a weekday at 11am. Typical GOAL BS. What a crappy organization.
Generally legislators are not at the statehouse on the weekends, best time to see them is during the week.a weekday at 11am. Typical GOAL BS. What a crappy organization.
I'm out of touch. No idea here.Sadly this event will probably be glowing and stacked with mobys.
The timing was all off. Wasn't this originally to promote GOAL's bill? Then the MA Legislature came out with an amended bill, and upstaged everything?Maybe it felt different because this was a done deed and a lost cause before we even heard about it.
nada - GOAL is a good hard working 2A org that does the best it can under the circumstances.a weekday at 11am. Typical GOAL BS. What a crappy organization.
Add to that: Massachusetts is hemorrhaging Conservative Gun Owners to other States and We are doomed...Problem with MA gun owners is many are a bunch of useless idiots that support more government.
25K votes in NH and 350K votes would make a difference, if people didn't vote like morons.
Add to that: Massachusetts is hemorrhaging Conservative Gun Owners to other States and We are doomed...
No. That's a good thing. At least, that's what I'm told at least twice a week.
Better is when liberal morons decide that THEY don't want the MA BS anymore and leave to go to the same places (NH, south, TX, etc.,) that conservatives went - they are SHOCKED they have to fight in this new place.
GO FIGURE! LOL
Oh I read 'em, I just enjoy deleting them more. LOLI read them all...
You must admire the filthy corrupt leftist DimocRAT pols on this one. They beat us like Grant took Richmond... worse, in fact. They were quick, ruthless, cunning, conniving and even had a good cover story to fall back on (they were just fixing the law to comply with Bruen like the good little pols that they are). Add the veto-proof super-majority leftist Dim situation and we never stood a chance.The timing was all off. Wasn't this originally to promote GOAL's bill?

Been doing these for many years, going back before Hudson Rally seeking "Shall Issue". Spoke at least 6 times. Froze out in North Brookfield. Got the Boston Police Commissioner to admit they were putting useless laws on everyone in the state under the guise of trying to fix city crime and specifically gang problems. This time the notice was too little, too late, too confused.
This state needs a PAC for this. Then we will have lobby (GOAL), courts (Comm2A), and voting ("pac"); to cover all facets.
It's time for Sherman's March to the Sea...You must admire the filthy corrupt leftist DimocRAT pols on this one. They beat us like Grant took Richmond... worse, in fact. They were quick, ruthless, cunning, conniving and even had a good cover story to fall back on (they were just fixing the law to comply with Bruen like the good little pols that they are). Add the veto-proof super-majority leftist Dim situation and we never stood a chance.
I am an old man. Like many here, I have been to more pro-2A rallies, demonstrations, hearings and "lobbying days" than I care to think about. Few did any good, but I went anyway... even when it cost and it hurt. But you also have to be smart enough to know when you have been beat. Was this the proverbial hill I wanted to die on? No, it was not.
More DimocRAT anti-2A shenanigans are coming and I will be back in Boston to object to them I am sure. The Dims have promised us a whole lot more anti-gun pain & misery and I'll be there to fight it. But I have to admit that I have a whole lot more hope in Comm2A and similar court-based efforts (FPC et al) than I do in GOAL. The days when GOAL had any real influence with our pols are far behind us now.
He is just trolling, as usual.
Sorry twat waffle, you either protect everyone's rights or f*ck right off.E-Blast from my REP in US Congress.

August 15, 2022 Mr. Enbloc Lowell, MA Dear Mr. Enbloc, Thank you for contacting my office and sharing your opinions on gun violence. While our opinions may differ, I value hearing from you and will take this opportunity to share my thoughts. The United States is the only nation in the world where gun violence is a common, everyday occurrence. On a daily basis, 321 Americans are shot, 111 of whom are killed. Further, eight children or teenagers a day are accidently shot due to an improperly stored or misused firearm. In 2022 alone, there were more than 300 mass shootings. These numbers are staggering. I respect and share your commitment to upholding the Constitution's 2nd Amendment rights. However, I don't believe that the Founding Fathers envisioned an America where civilians could obtain semiautomatic and automatic weapons without a background check and wipe out a crowd of children in seconds. The shootings in Uvalde, Texas, Buffalo, New York, and Highland Park, Illinois are stark reminders that no one, not even elementary school children are safe from the threat of widespread gun violence. To protect our children, community members, and local law enforcement from such violence, we need laws that will prevent an 18-year-old, who had previously expressed intent to harm others, from purchasing two AR-15 style assault weapons and more than 300 rounds of ammunition. With 19 more innocent children killed due in large part to decades of inaction, it is past time to pass legislation that can prevent these senseless mass shootings and acts of violence. Addressing the mental health epidemic is an important part of fixing the high rate of gun violence in our country, and I have supported increased funding for mental health programs through the American Rescue Plan, which will allow schools and healthcare providers to more effectively assist in mitigating high risk individuals. However, there remain many loopholes that allow those with mental health issues to purchase high-capacity magazines and semiautomatic weapons. By expanding background checks and implementing red flag laws, the government can prevent guns from getting into the wrong hands. For those reasons, in June, I voted in favor of the bipartisan Protecting Our Kids Act and the Federal Extreme Risk Protection Order Act of 2022. These pieces of legislation would prohibit the sale or transfer of certain semiautomatic firearms to individuals who are under 21 years old, establish new federal criminal offenses for gun trafficking and related conduct, establish a federal red-flag program, and increase funding for mental health and school safety programs. While both bills would create new federal standards, these regulations are already the law in Massachusetts. In fact, Massachusetts regulations are credited with our state having the second lowest rate of gun deaths in the United States. As a mother of two young daughters in public schools, I believe that we must take urgent action to address gun violence and protect our children, our educators, and our communities. We're fed up with living in fear of our friends or family members falling victim to preventable gun violence. In the face of such tragedies, we have the opportunity, and obligation, to advance commonsense measures that will save lives. Again, thank you for contacting me. I always appreciate hearing from you and hope you will continue to share your views with me. If I can ever be of future assistance to you, please do not hesitate to call my Lowell office at (978) 459-0101.
