Are you afraid of "ghost guns"? Do you think people should be? You can help Johns Hopkins University with their public awareness survey at this link.

That's pretty much the survey:
- are you afraid of ghost guns?
- then they...
Not from MA of course.
This morning I received my Utah license in the mail. It appeared someone had picked the wrong state in a drop-down menu as both my letter and license said MD instead of MA, or maybe they typed Ma and their system pulled up "Maryland". Crap.
At 9:00 am Eastern time I...

Heads-up for Falmouth folks - the description sounds like these people are too far gone to listen to any input from the other side, but if you're local and know any of these people (or just like to argue), there's gonna be a meeting.
Democratic Town Committee To Take Up Gun Violence

I'm willing to bet that's not *exactly* what they said, unless Mr "I'm not built for jail" has some kind of extra-killy revolver my local gun store doesn't carry!
From last week, before the tragedy this weekend in Weymouth:
Man assaults officers, pulls gun during arrest tied to shooting...
Resident carrying a firearm stops 20-year-old suspect from robbing woman at gunpoint, police say
"A man who was legally carrying his own handgun intervened as a suspect was trying to rob a 29-year-old woman at gunpoint, getting into a fight with the man while waiting for police to arrive...
Currently 61% yes, pass ERPO
39% no, on gun/mental health
Not that they're trying to influence the results with the phrasing of their choices.
T&G POLL: Should Massachusetts bill (see editorial) enable judges to remove guns?
I was voter #3 in the poll, so far 2 in favor and me against. Nice "no" response by GOAL board member Courtney Martel (though I still find the use of the word "cruel" to be a little odd without a lot of clarification)
Should courts in Massachusetts be allowed to order the seizure of guns from...
The poll seems designed to split the "yes" vote, with "yes" and "only if trained" options and only one "no" choice. "No" (58%) is beating even the combined totals of the other two at this point so vote early and often, like you were a community organizer....
The article is worth reading for...
This poor guy is so screwed. The only good news in this article is that nobody panicked - not the person who found it, not the boss, not the cops. It's unfortunate that the boss couldn't just ask him for his LTC to confirm he could have it, and them whack him with disciplinary action at work...

Not a terrible article - I did get a laugh from the comment at the end, apparently Crystal is advocating for mental health tests to drive a car or something - "It needs to be more like owning and...
Is it the phase of the moon or something? So this piece of excrement popped up all over the place today, mostly on sites that don't allow comments. Just an FYI, the "study" was "submitted" to EOPSS according to the article. I'm sure it will turn up on other sites, they have to justify the...

i just read the text, I didn't watch the video. I don't know if their data tells us anything the people on this board wouldn't know - it's not that unusual, it's a little more common the...

Apparently this was "unveiled at the New England Gun Summit" this week (which in past years was called the "New England Gun Violence Summit".) Story below. At first glance, it's not a bad everything-in-one-place, easy-to-read...
Cowboy Action shooting returns to Mansfield Fish & Game in April and runs through November. Come join the Mansfield Marauders for some old-school 3-gun action - bring your six-shooters, lever-action rifle and scattergun! See http://www.mansfieldfish.com/marauders.html for details and contact...
If you live in Quincy, now is the time to call and email your state rep, Mr John Keenan, politely and respectfully please, but share your opinion and sense of urgency about the firearms legislation coming up this session. If you don't live in Quincy, contact your own rep & senator again...
A Google alert flagged this "Guns in the Realm of God" event in Topsfield, so here's a good reminder to keep an eye on the events in your town and to participate as politely as possible. The Federal elections are done but with springtime town meeting agendas are being lined up already, now is a...

The Mansfield Marauders are hosting a six-stage Cowboy Action shoot on Saturday 10/8 at the Mansfield Fish and Game club. These look like a great time, I caught the tail end of their last event and everyone seemed like they were having a blast and were great about explaining their equipment and...
