I truly believe if enough people vocalize their objections the proposed state and federal regulations will disappear--for now.
It's up to YOU what happens next.

yes, the devil has pushed one gun a month in the past and has been shot down every time.
I just don't understand what they would accomplish? So one civilian with 12 AR's in a calendar year is considered a gun-control success?
Remember, we all just witnessed that ram-job in NY. It is human nature to think the State of the midnight legislative pay raises may follow suit.
We need to be on top of this. For example, this committee has the bill on their plate right now for a recommendation, here are the 10 members, contact them now and tell them to vote no. That type of stuff could be effective, IMO.
It is in Committee already? Who are the 10 members? They ABSOLUTELY need to be hammered.
No yet, that's why I said for example.

My reps office told me the same thing today -- the process will be nothing like NY, it's early, lots will change, etc. I got the impression that the mental health stuff is seen as most likely to go through with the rest on the table but receiving less clear support. All for what it's worth, naturally. This is Mass, plan accordingly.
Here. Panicing. Don't trust the Pols in this state as far as I can throw them.
What mental health stuff? Becomming compliant in reporting to the NICS via Devil's bill OR the Linsky bullshit that strips away our HIPAA privacy rights and allows our medical records to be accessed by police chiefs thereby, with full discretion, putting them in a position to act as an MD.
PTSD-denied, anxiety-denied, depression caused by a death in the family-denied. That is far more infuriating and unconstitutional to me than a 7 round magazine per the 5th and 14th amendments.
No Compromise.
Just spoke to my Representative, who is a "friendly acquaintance." They said that the process in MA is very different than what happened in NY. The Governor floats bills, but the House and Senate also do and the three never agree (even though they are all Democrats or Democrat-dominated). There is a lot of discussion, process, etc. that will occur with public hearings and debate - sort of what we learned about in civics class. The Governor is setting a high bar, so that something less than this will be seen as a victory. While the result may not be good, at least it won't be crammed down our throats, I am assured.
You have to realize, this is a negotiation. The bill has enough fat in it to be trimmed. Like the OP said, so it will look like a victory. I can see some crap happening with the mental health issue, the "gun show" loophole, and maybe some other crap, but I am also optimistic that some fat will be trimmed off this bill, and hopefully our magazine capacity is part of it.
For now, chin up, and don't speculate the worst.
WTB: New F5 keyboard key. Mine's just about had it from this last month and especially day of reading this forum.
dont forget to check with his physician to see if he is competent to use an F5 key responsiblyThat depends, I don't want to help you commit a felony. Have you bought any other keys in the past 30 days? What about mice or other computer input devices/accessories?

The General Court tends not to do what Deval wants. Can't quite figure out why other than he is not really one of them so they do not provide him any consideration.
Pay more attention to what DeLeo and Murray want to do. It's more likely their bills would make it through.

Fact is, things suck for you guys and they're about to get worse. The degree of worse has yet to be ironed out, but it's not getting better. I don't think people should calm down because their rights may only be infringed a little more, versus a lot more. I think this kind of panic is long overdue.
Don't panic, you may only get screwed half as hard as you thought and if you're really good they might use a drop of lube.
Riiiiggghht.

Panicing and arm flapping doesn't fix the problem though. It only makes other people act just as retarded. It's not doing anythhing productive. There are a myriad of other things someone can do, some I won't list in public, that are better than running around windmilling and asking where to apply the lube, though. If we let these bastards get to us, on any level, then they win.
