Alert - Public Hearing Thursday Morning at State House - All 2A related legislation

[Len-2A Training]

It would have been do able for me to go to this if I had a wee bit more than less than 24 hours notice. I only found because of an nra email yesterday. There was nothing in here or anywhere else. I would love to have a lively chat with our legislators.

GOAL only got ~2.5 days notice and got the word out here and thru Email blasts, but I also have a problem with such short notice. Digesting 42 bills and putting together coherent responses takes time, especially when intermingled with real work. I plan on having a discussion with my Rep (friend but not on this committee) and one of the co-chairs of the committee (not my guy, but I know him) about timing of schedule announcements. Meanwhile I just finished my written testimony and Emailed it off to them a few minutes ago.

To further complicate matters for me, I received an emergency job to serve some legal papers and there was some mass confusion as to what needed to be served, some papers missing and an attorney who was unreachable (in court all day yesterday). So spending the day in Boston today isn't possible for me either.

I need a suppressor in the worst way. Thanks to everyone going to support.

 

[rogues]

I'm here, far right side second row, red tie, dark suit. Guessing mostly pro. Small room.

 

[rogues]

Am I seeing this right, only 4 committee members here?

 

[guitarman]

I can't make it home from CT in time because of class. Called everyone yesterday though. Give 'em hell!

Seconded. Sent in written testimony last night.

It's going well, the vast majority of people are speaking in favor of GOAL legislation. Most are discussing the suppressor bill and the Constitutional carry bill, the committee has heard from numerous Lowell residents and have stated that they are going to "haul the chiefs who are going above the law in to appear before a committee" they were not happy with this and for the most part seemed unaware of the many abuses. Very good development.

 

[AngelKing]

There is only one anti here and she did not bring a tee shirt, only a nicely printed list of talking points from Mom.

I'm stuck in mandatory sales meetings at work all this week. So. Much. Fun.

 

[rogues]

For any late-comers, it's over.

Thanks everybody!!!

Any videos ?

 

[drgrant]

What passed and what didnt?

It's a hearing, nothing "gets voted on" yet. Most of the stuff will probably get discarded this session, unlikely to even get out of the committee.

I'd like to see where that goes.

Yep. Most of these get "referred to committee" where they expire when the legislative session is over. Then someone resubmits them the next year with a different bill number and it starts all over again.

 

[AngelKing]

wanted to go, but yet again, short staffed.

Such is the system. You can't win if you don't play

 

[thorin]

Any videos ?

I checked, it was not on video on the state house website. They were going to show a senate hearing instead.

 

[Obie1]

Many thanks to those who were willing and able to be there

I usually try to whenever I go in, but time wasn't on my side this go around.

 

[soam]

If there was only 1 anti there then I guess the Moms Demand machine wasn't able to get moving fast enough to drum up any supporters to attend. Good news for us, I suppose.

Many thanks to those who attended and spoke.

 

[noxin]

Dude, that Donald Humason from Westfield is my hero for submitting all those pro bills!
