Blame it on the mimes - they won't talk (Scott Adams)I don't expect either side to say they are.
Mike, it was not too long ago when you were heaping vitriol and tinfoil on any number of commenters here for suggesting our gun rights in Massachusetts were threatened.
I do believe the Baker-Healey Ban will be just the tip of the iceberg if Clinton is elected.
Also worth noting- I guess you could say were in a new game now; I had previously thought, perhaps naively, that most bans, etc, would come as part of a political process and not some AG who has suddenly annointed herself with lawmaking powers. Her actions are unprecedented in terms of ignoring the rule of law and the entire process. I guess it's not unprecedented though, Lincoln and others have done such jackassery before; of course the problem is they never got punished for it.

Absolutely no one could have seen this coming with anything even remotely in the realm of factual certainty. It really is a whole new game. Overnight, my world changed. I feel betrayed by my state, betrayed by my lawmakers, betrayed by my judicial system, and betrayed by my country. This whole shitshow, with it's suddenness, has really ****ed my worldview up. I had to ponder, for days, and to a lesser extent still do, what my reaction to the cops showing up at my door for my rifle would be. I have to now look at uprooting my life, my future plans, to get to a place that isn't here.
Whoo-Hoo
This was my very first thought when i first saw this thread. The AG demonized the manufactures saying they purposely worked around the ban. We know they worked with the ban at the time.
Healey's letter clearly implied the manufacturers have been intentionally breaking Massachusetts law for 18 years. They pretty much have to respond.

Not oddly.COMM2A is oddly silent but I will probably send them funds as they do good work.
Exactly as it should be. You guys are doing awesome work and speaking for myself, you have my confidence and support. I know you're doing everything you can.Not oddly.
We do not report on strategy sessions; meeting with other orgs; etc. until we take an action. All part of managing the battle.
OK, help me out here. I'm applying for individual membership in NSSF. After the term of membership box, I check the boxes for Military, Shooting instructor, Hunting and Target Shooting and add text in each box describing my involvement. I have more than 15 characters in the text but when I hit Continue it keeps telling me to go back and fill out more info!!!!
I wanna join!
Thanks!
And, the left-wing Statists claim to not be anti-2A (as in Individuals), but anti-Gun Lobby. They are anticipating a Hildog win and starting to characterize certain Individuals as extreme (ie, the ones who want to own semi-auto Modern Sporting Rifles).
The NSSF puts on the Shot Show. Is individual membership an acceptable credential to be allowed to by a ticket?
Yup. We don't talk about what we're going to do or what we might do. There's no value in that. Our policy is to not make announcements until after an action has actually commenced and we'll abide by that strategy here as well.Not oddly.

That's part of the spin. The antis have pretty much learned not to attack their fellow American's. Instead they need a boogie man and that's where the NRA and 'gun lobby' come in. It's much more palatable to stand in opposition to a depersonalize industry lobby than to stand in opposition to a large number of your fellow citizens.I heard yesterday on NPR, someone asked why nothing happened after Newtown, and the 'expert' said that our politicians are all scared of the NRA, that each politician who votes against guns, the NRA comes in and spends millions lobbying against that politician - saying the NRA spends billions of dollars lobbying.
They're so sure of themselves they literally have no idea what they're talking about. The most the NRA has ever spent on lobbying in one year was $3.5 million.

The NRA is tiny compared to the antis' budget - Hillary spends that much in a day campaigning.

AG Healey says she's taking on gun manufactures and the media is eager to adopt this narrative. No, AG Healey is taking on gun owners, gun ownership and the Second Amendment.
Another example. As Clinton was getting ready to announce her VP choice, NPR ran down Tim Kaine's credentials including "standing up to the gun industry". No Tim Kaine stood up to Virginia's gun owners plain and simple.

See last column on right.I agree. It doesn't even show "individual membership" in this chart from the NSSF site:
