There is some information flying around that another town, much like Westford, is attempting some absurd anti 2nd amendment town bylaws. Sudbury is that very town. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE ACT AS WE DID IN WESTFORD. When gun owners turned out in force to show that they would not stand for this, we won. We, as a community and as americans, We MUST continue to stay vigilant and continue to push back when the antis try to impose their will.
Here is the gist of it:
ARTICLE 39. AMEND BYLAWS, ART. V, PUBLIC SAFETY, SECTION 8 – DISCHARGE OF FIREARMS To see if the Town will vote to amend the Town of Sudbury Bylaws, Article V, Public Safety, by deleting Section 8 therefrom and substituting a new Section 8, as follows:
SECTION 8. No person shall fire or discharge any automatic weapon, machine gun, cannon, pistol or revolver, rifle, air rifle or BB gun, shot gun or explosives of any kind on private property except with the written consent of the owner or legal occupant thereof or within the limits of any Town-owned public property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such weapon shall be fired or discharged within 500 yards of a residence and within one-half (1/2) mile of any school, daycare center, church or any building, playground or field , which children use for sports or other activities. Nothing in this bylaw shall be construed in such a way as to prohibit the lawful use of any of the above-named guns in the defense of life or property or on any range as defined in Section 9 or in any other manner in accordance with the General Laws of the Commonwealth limited by the discharge limits set forth herein concerning discharge of a weapon near a residence. Violation of this section shall be subject to a penalty of $300. ; or act on anything relative thereto.
PETITIONER’S REPORT: This article seeks to amend the Public Safety Bylaw to prohibit the discharge/firing of firearms near schools, playgrounds, daycare centers, churches, temples and homes. The current Bylaw only restricts discharging firearms within 500 feet of homes, but does not mention schools, playgrounds, daycare centers, etc. Many handguns are capable of firing rounds well over a mile. In an effort to better protect our children and our neighbors, this change will prohibit the discharging/firing of weapons within one-half (1/2) mile of all schools, playgrounds, daycare centers and churches/temples, and within 500 yards of any dwelling.
As you can see this is just another attempt at the chip from our unalienable rights. We must act. If you are a resident of Sudbury, ATTEND THE MEETING ON May 6, 2013 I cannot speak to whether or not non residents would be allowed to attend, however calling and inundating them with your POLITE displeasure is HIGHLY ENCOURAGED.
