Great to see some action and the NRA's support.
But please stop banging on the desk
I am curious as to the intent of the message above?
The problem was the sound was the same volume as his words at a few points, just because of how microphones work. I am very grateful for all his work, and do appreciate it, it is just something to keep in mind for future interviews more than anything!Not one to bash the messenger, he delivers probably six months worth of work for every Mass. gun owners behalf, and you critique his chair and a camera wobble? Hell I wouldn't care if he wore Jim Wallace's kilt and did a Irish jig on the desk after dropping that bomb live on the day after the Pats won the AFC title.

The thing to remember here is that the AG's reinterpretation of 'assault weapon' is irrelevant if the ban itself can't be justified. There really was no option at this point, the AG's enforcement notice forced our hands.
We also didn't rush to the courthouse with this one either and I hope people appreciate how much work is involved in filing a complaint of this type. Sure, the attorneys put in a great deal of time researching and drafting the complaint. But, this was a very open processes and the opinions and concerns of all parties had to be considered and addressed. Like most of the cases Comm2A participates in, this legal team was open minded and collaborative. NRA, GOAL and Comm2A were are actively involved with the final product.
This is just the beginning and nothing will change for what will seem to be a lifetime. You can expect this case to drag on for at least 2-3 years probably much longer if we're successful. We're operating in a (Second Amendment) hostile environment. The Commonwealth will fight us hard on this and the court will not be eager to hear us out with an open mind.
That said, literally years of hard work is starting to pay off. In addition to this and the stun gun case, we have several other projects that are reaching 'maturity'. We should be able to give you at least two more cases in the next two months. If you've been a supporter of Comm2A, pat yourself on the back. We would not be able to do this without the support we've received and quite frankly we wouldn't bother. If people didn't care enough to support this organization, we just wouldn't feel like this was something worth doing.
