Rally for Gun Safety at MA State House

[steveg241]

Just posted on the Globe site: Rally for gun safety planned at State House Wednesday - The Boston Globe

Looks like they will be lobbying tomorrow. Reach out to your legislators.

 

[Snora]

"According to a press release from Everytown, volunteers will push legislators to combat ghost guns (untraceable firearms that are purchased online and can be assembled at home), improve gun safety standards, and invest in community violence intervention programs."

What does improving gun safety standards entail?

 

[walter62]

Ah, the good 'ol 'community programs'.

Where is the 'get the blacks to stop killing everyone' program?

 

[HARRYM]

Keep a very close eye on Healey and Campbell this week.....

"Curb Your ******s" is nicely terse and pithy, but methinks people would object.

 

[Sparkey]

I am all for gun safety but I bet their definition and mine of gun safety are very different

If we mandate that gun owners take a safety class, then criminals won’t use guns to murder people. Obviously.

Maura Healey has been a bit quiet on Twitter lately…

Clench your cheeks, guys. She's busy working on something ironclad this time.

 

[PATRON]

So get ready for those NRA calls looking for money,and if you send
enough money they will send you the made in china hat.

A massive counter-protest all bearing signs "Peach through superior firepower" would be interesting.

Always remember:

• People who Facebook.
• People who answer the phone for strange numbers.
• People who don't change their underwear.
• People who can protest during the work day.

Yup - same people.

I don't believe that an organization exists which can coordinate nad pay for such a demonstration on our side.

I don't have any facts to support my belief, but I do think that "someone/some organization" is doing this for the anti-gun protestors.

 

[walter62]

and that is why 'our side' is in the situation it's in.

Lots of keyboard warriors and no organization.

Of COURSE some 'organization' is doing it for the anti's.

Start w/ Bloomberg & Soros and keep going.

Why is Beacon Hill rushing to disarm vulnerable minorities in the wake of an atrocity at the behest of an out of state billionaire?!

Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a large, national gun rights group we could all join? A group that could lobby for gun rights and throw money around like the antis do?

There is. They do. Just don't get the proverbial bang for your buck when they spend it on swamp critters.

Correct- thier version involves total confiscation.

Why does anyone have to be paid? There's thousands of children who would willingly skip school to go just in Boston, not to mention college students.

Add prents who work jobs where they could take an afternoon off, you could stack up quite a few easily without spending a cent.

Our side? Jupiter needs to be in opposition with Venus in the morning on the day of a full moon with a tempreture between 70 and 75, partial clouds, and a steady light breeze out of the south to get our asses out of our armchairs.

If you don't have at least a strong suspicion that someone is bankrolling all these "spontaneous" events, well, you are entitled to your opinion.

Bless your heart.

Have you ever been to a pro-gun demonstration at Beacon Hill?

I know that I have.

When you are on the public payroll, you are allowed to go protest. Our side has to work to pay the bills.

Only if you are on the approved side of an issue.

Yes, more than one. The only one that wasn't pathetic was the Healey protest.
