DELEO'S GUN HEARING today (Megathread)

[drgrant]

Am I correct that if no-FTF-sales passes, that will basically be the end of new Gen 3 & 4 Glocks, XD's, etc etc in MA?

No. It's still offensive regardless, however.

Opinions vary. The way it's written now I don't see how the FFLs could "facilitate" the transfers as described and still comply with federal law. I think few would take the risk.

Lots of mental health stuff from this panel. They want some other Bill included in this one.

As long as they don't change the definitions of a few things it wouldn't change getting stuff from dealers .

Struggling to find the relevance

 

[Mawagian]

Is Don Humason there ? Did he speak?

THE CHILDREN!

Pretty clear based on the one panelist dragging her baby in as a prop.

I'd have liked to see a speaker address the mental health thing from another angle. Instead of trying to identify people who don't meet their standards they should devote more time to the over-medication of children and young adults. How many of the shooters in the various incidents over the years were taking one psychotropic drug or another?

 

[Waher]

I was kind of shocked to not see Rosenthall lurking about.

Shmeh, they're not as bad as the others

Ashe is on the Joint Committee on Public Safety and Homeland Security. I'm curious what his opinion is...

He is my local rep so I've sent him several emails and called his office about this. I received a call back today saying that he is opposing H4121.

I don't think so. But this being an H bill, he may wait until it is before the S to tear into it. Boldyga took good care of us today.

 

[Aaron[MA]]

Why are these people even here?!

I haven't heard a word about how anything they said relates to guns.

Did anyone tell these people this hearing isn't about their "safe and supportive schools bill"?

 

[not new guy]

I forgot about Grossman's testimony - what a POS. It's almost terrifying how clueless Paula Cabral is on the whole topic given what she does for work.

Jason Sawyer, of Melrose, works for a software company and was among the gun owners opposed to the bill. "It's not targeting people who are committing crimes. It's targeting people who are legitimate, legal gun owners," Sawyer said.

 

[jasons]

Hey, that was fast!

 

[Waher]

Grossman's comment about using the tech sector for "smart guns" and having the AG abuse their consumer protection powers "to regulate real guns just like we regulate toy guns" was clearly a stunt.

"One gun a month prevents straw purchases," Cabral said. "You prevent someone from stockpiling weapons, you've prevented a tragedy."

I always knew my life was tragic...thanks for cheering me up!

She paraphrased me, but she got the gist of it. A five minute interview boiled down to two lines.

 

[oldsoldier29]

Had Rosenthal given his two bullets for duck hunting speech yet? That's always good for a laugh

BOSTON — Tonia Ortiz, 19, lives in Boston's South End and came to a State House hearing on a gun violence bill Tuesday in honor of her friend Jorge Fuentes.

Fuentes, she said, was shot in Dorchester while walking his dog outside his home. "I don't want other people to feel the pain I felt when he passed away," Ortiz said, explaining her support for tighter gun regulations.


Right....because i am sure this shooting in dorchester was committed by an LTC-A holder w clean record after submitting an EFA10 and being sure to have no more than 10rd magazine. WTF does this girl live on the moon?

Right! Thanks.

 

[LittleCalm]

they need to be asked at every turn to justify each and every proposed regulation and PROVE how it will be effective in limiting violence. They will fall flat on their face because it is impossible to prove that which is not true

C'mon, you can't know it won't be effective unless we pass it and then see what happens...

"One gun a month prevents straw purchases," Cabral said. "You prevent someone from stockpiling weapons, you've prevented a tragedy."

It is incredibly hard to top Secretary of Public Safety Andrea Cabral's woeful ignorance.

At first I thought it was Wilfork with a wig.

These people are from a different universe.
They've been duped, brainwashed and outright lied to regarding guns and the law. It's really quite sad.

Nice and bold! Nice work!

 

[mattyw]

did I hear correctly, someone from the thin blue line speaking out against banning private sales and the AG list?
