Has anybody heard anything back from Sen. Moore's office yet. When I can call all I can do is leave a message (due to work hours ) my email has also gone unresponded to but it's only been a few days.
Thank you for contacting me regarding the new gun bill. Please know that I share your concerns and I oppose the bill currently before the Senate as it is written. As you may know, I have a strong record of support for the Second Amendment, a record that has earned me an A+ rating with the Gun Owners Action League (GOAL). I have been working closely with GOAL to try to improve the bill through amendments. There are other amendments that make the bill even worse and those I will vote against. Overall the Senate will consider 63 amendments. Unless our concerns are addressed and the bill is significantly improved, I will be voting against the bill today.
Thanks again for your feedback on this important issue.
Sincerely,
Robert L. Hedlund, Senator
Plymouth and Norfolk District
I have a feeling its because the Senate is far more liberal and moonbattish than the House and because of that they expect it to sail through with flying colors.
Email reply from Sen Robert Hedlund:
I've gotten no recent replies to my latest (Richard T., not Michael O.), and earlier email generated a boilerplate letter of support. His track record is largely on our side, though... I do feel kinda funny calling and asking that he support #6 and #56, seeing as how he co-sponsored one and self sponsored the other
Marc Pacheco can suck it. I never heard back from him. He has been in office way too long
if that's the case, just thank him for his support and ask that he urges his colleagues to stand with him. Remember, he is a "D" and has lots of pull, a good friend to have in the Senate.

Mike O. Moore or Richard T. Moore?
The former (Mike) is my State Senator. He voted against this mess coming out of Committee and is responsible for Amendment 6 (I think) which moves to strike FID Suitability from the bill!
Called Donnelly's office following up on an email I had sent 2 days ago. Aide the answered the phone said the Senator supported the bill as written and was studying the amendments. Did not really care what my opinion was and or that Donnelly was my senator. I followed up with another email with my opinions and Goals list of actions. At this point I would say he will be no help but I will wait for the outcome before making any judgements.
Couple of amendments have been redrafted, at least one more withdrawn.
The ma.gov site indicates that the Senate session is in recess, anyone have up to date info on what is going on?

Am, what the heck? I step out to pick up a sammich, and we go from no session starting really late to now we're in recess? Did I miss anything other than what was posted above?
which ones withdrawn?
Not 30 I hope
Typical... give them 24hrs to read and digest 63 amendments, then change things at the last minute...
Any info on how to view this on an Android phone?
Installed the archived Flash Player but no video.

I tried the video link for the Senate Sessions and it is not up. Is there another viewing portal?
2, 4, 7, 13, 27, 34, 38, 49, 51, 53, 58 redrafted..
58 is defensive sprays... deletes language in S2265 and cites penalties for improper (non defensive) use
