More accurately taxation without representation.Its what a Socialist State looks like.
Thank you so much for giving these updates.
The deception is very real. We really need to get serious and vote the scumbags out.They make it look so free and exciting by showing scenes of MA and the flag while pissing on its residents. Ironic.
The ERPO legislation is back in play, sounds like the Public Safety Committee is going to vote on it today.
The moms have been pushing really hard for this, today they coordinated with the #Enough kids and lit up the phones at the State House.
Tomorrow it's our turn. Please make a call to your state legislators, the House Speaker (DeLeo) the Senate President (Chandler) and the chairs of the public safety committee and urge a NO vote on Decker's H.3610.

Some ERPO Facts
1. It will abuse people who only need a little temporary help
2. It will exacerbate any problems above person may have
3. There are already many ways for local police to handle these issues with compassion.
Urge #MALEg to vote no on the astroturf #REDFLAG bills they are being pushed by out of state gun prohibition advocates and they are not right for Massachusetts!
In case I gotta run, Steve Brown has been posting updates via Twitter from the statehouse:

Interesting to note that the room is apparently packed with Demanding Moms who Need Action. Also kind of interesting to hear him say that he remembers the big pro gun protest a few years back and that he wouldn't be surprised to see us protesting this law over the summer. I think we should take him up on that.
I know way too many people that have had that happen to them with the fake 209a and the judge just lets it happen anyways (mostly crazy women accusers) along with the confiscation for a year and the fight to get your stuff back. That's why I always have my phone ready to record and a camera with audio recording at my place constantly. Nothing beats the "I have a tape defense". I saw an episode of Matlock when I was a kid and just saying he had a tape made them recant even though the tape was nothing.
Hence the implication there's a tape not actually having one.And public places have no expectation of privacy.Except when you get charged under MA's wiretapping law.
Also, a very telling sign about this being a done deal is the complete disrespect for any legislator speaking out against the bill. The house members are worse mannered than kindergartners and completely disrespected O'Connelll's speech.
