Wow I'm surprised my local newspaper had an article about this. Sucks I can't read it on my computer as they're now making you subscribe to the newspaper (f*** that). I'll have to read it on my iPhone.

Agreed, those stories were actually factual and pretty fair given what we're used to reading.

Thank you for finding that thread! I was a NES member at the time but didn't recall that thread. A great read, to see the start of an organization is pretty rare and really cool. I have to go spread some rep point now.

If people understood how good Terraformer was at laying out a legal strategy, they would be demanding that NES provide him with a food taster.
Plus, we have been fortunate to work with a number of very good attorneys, including Alex Flig who is handling this case.

I wonder what would happen if a state decided that it wished to arm its militia by providing citizens with something larger than .50 caliber?If people understood how good Terraformer was at laying out a legal strategy, they would be demanding that NES provide him with a food taster.

CMF = Christopher Mark Fletcher... So yes, he was the plaintiff.
Comparing the screen names in the thread with the names of the plaintiffs in the case may be enlightening

Damn, I was too slow.
There's some more discussion of the history in the announcement thread for Fletcher also, though I warn you it's mixed in with some unpleasant pooh pooh-ing of legal resident aliens rights. http://www.northeastshooters.com/vb...arms-Prohibition-for-Lawfully-Admitted-Aliens
Not sure if it is online. I heard in the car on the old fashioned radio.
Knuckle Dragger sent me a PM to help out. I was able to upgrade to Gold.
Imagine what Comm2A could accomplish if all MA NES members (and I realize there are Comm2A supporters from outside of MA - thank you!) were at least bronze level ($10/mo) supporters?
Ugh, I forgot how many asshats we have among us until I started re-reading that thread.![[thinking]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/010.gif "Thinking [thinking]")
Jeez it was one guy in that thread.

I think there was another thread(s) where quite a few statists were stating about aliens and guns. I remember being surprised by how many people felt that way.
I understand why some MA dealers did not want to join the lawsuit, but for the life of me I cannot understand why they wouldn't donate size able donations. As it would only increase sales.
But then I thought about it and realized that if they allow new Glocks to be sold in MA, how is Four Seasons going to sell 20+ year old Glocks for 600 dollars anymore? That's gonna cut into there business a lot more, as I venture to think, because they make a lot of more money selling old Glocks they buy for 300 dollars vs a slight markup on new pistols.
Something to remember; Most Gun Shops are not your friends. They make you feel that way so you keep going back. Business 101. They could really care less about being able to sell certain guns. It's the shops that support us and support Comm2a that you should concentrate your business on. Who cares if you have to pay 10 dollars more for a firearm.
It's there decision and right not to support us either by donations or lawsuits. It's also my decision and right not to support them.

I just sent a small contribution.
When Comm2A wins this case, how many people do you figure who have old glocks are going to want to get new ones, just because?
Are there other guns on the roster that are currently not saleable because of the LCI issue, that don't have exemptions for age?
******
I'm surprised Carl from Four Seasons is not in on the lawsuit. I think he would benefit greatly from the success of this lawsuit. Is there a bigger volume dealer in the State?
Since they have the "GUNs YOU Can't have in MA Page!!!" I am not surprised.
WOW!!! That triggered an emotional flashback and walk down memory lane. Did we drop enough hints back then????
Thanks for posting.
For reasons I don't want to go into (none of them bad) Four Seasons would not have need an ideal plaintiff. Carl is a food friend and I am very confident of his support.
Yep. And it's just not them.
Again, they are a business and we should like wise put pressure on them to get involved too. That's how it works.
I get sick and tired of walking into gun shops and seeing the same old people just hanging out. Everyone thinks they are friends with them. Like to hang and out and shoot the breeze, call everyone in the shop by their first names like they are buds, come on here and praise them to high hell. I've been guilty of it too. Not anymore
They are not buddies. They are a business and they show it every time something like this comes up. Again, it's their right not to get involved. It's their right to sell 600 dollar ancient Glocks. It's my right to shop at shops that support us and support our rights.
And if this lawsuit works, then I'll be buying a Glock 19 from precision point. Not the guys across the street even if they are 20 dollars cheaper. Can't buy my loyalty with a discount.
Next time I stop in my local South Shore gun shop I will be sure to let them know they should support Comm2a to help fight this lawsuit.
Thanks for letting me rant and I hope you all do the same.
