Fear not: a letter to everyone here.

[Mr. Gold]

Just like everyone else here – I’m angry, basically fuming in the past week.

The action of a single politically oriented official has placed us in quite the predicament.

The weasels are counting on one thing only, being there’s only one way they can win:
Making us feel like we’re atomized, and when we close our doors at night it’s only us and our loved ones under that roof that we can count on - no one else.

And, if we don’t show them differently, they may just be right.

if we were to sample 100 members here, we’d probably have 90 different political and philosophical approaches to life – that is a part of the price paid for unlimited freedom-
you get unlimited differences of opinion.

The weasels have headquarters, members that sit in the same office, plan plot and scheme.
They have virtually unlimited funding – our hard earned and hard paid tax dollars.

We don't have that luxury. We actually work for a living.

However:
As I have noticed, we are all in the “who’s first” state of mind right now.

Hard working, law abiding citizens are afraid to do what is legal -out of fear of a random LEO picking them out to impress someone.
Or just in general, you don’t want to be the first sheep snapped away by the wolf.

That, is unacceptable.

If you accept that, you will accept anything!
Do not believe your own lie that “okay, one more step and I’ll really be pissed and show them!!!”.

Because, if you choose to cower at this point, you have chosen your MO for the future and agreed internally that you just don’t have the stones.

What I’m trying to say is:
I am 100% certain that if there will be such a thing as “the first victim” (their AR taken away, etc) - there will be an admirable effort made by numerous gun owners to help them out:
Socially, Financially and Morally. I know I will, because I know damn well if it were to happen to one, there's going to be another one and then it's me and then it's you, my friend.

If, we hear such a thing taking place and collectively go “meh, too bad for them they should have been more careful” then by God almighty, - we deserve nothing, and are worth nothing, and our enemy has bested us for a reason.

Go, shoot, practice, train, have fun.
I don’t fear tyrants, neither should you.

Mr. Gold

I was at the range yesterday with an AR15 and an AR10 and two cousins. We were there for six hours lighting up targets. When we were leaving another guy showed up with an AR and decided to dance alone on the range.

I'm not running or hiding from anyone.

 

[bren42970]

I'm not hiding either, matter of fact I'm making it more of a point to show my beliefs. New flag to give old glory Company out front." Liberty or death"

 

[timbo]

Well, as a great man once said (Ben Franklin as I remember), "We had better all hang together or we will most assuredly hang separately".

Whether or not we're from Mass, we are all really in this boat together...

The beauty of gun fire is, it travels quite far, and leaves no doubt as for the source of the sound.

If our rifle ranges all of the sudden run silent, that would be a sad state of affairs.

It would behoove everyone to shoot 50 rounds extra than usual, and to drag a buddy or two with them for some fine muzzle symphony.

When the moonbats hear we're not going silent, but rather on the contrary! doubling down on our constitutional rights, it's worth as much a well organized demonstration.

The funnier part is that there was a couple that arrived to shoot trap. We have a microphone system so nobody has to push the button. You say pull into the mike and you get a clay. I brought my female cousin (New Shooter, never been to a range before) over to see them do the trap while my male cousin (very good shooter and is leaving for the Marines in a couple of months) was using the AR10. Every shot he took activated the thrower. LMAO. They got a little annoyed and packed it in. I don't mean to be a jerk but we were there first...lol Anyway, if they waited 10 minutes we would have been done with that rifle as we ran out of ammo for it...That rifle got abused that day.

If I may humbly chime in on this thread:

Many in my family were exterminated by the Nazis during WWII for being Jews. I am a first-generation immigrant from the former Soviet Union. Although I was too young to understand it when my parents sought political asylum in the U.S., their and others' stories of that generation are enough for me to fight the good fight for the Constitution in MY country. I did so as a National Guardsman and Reservist and am now doing it as a lawyer.

In the haunting words of pastor Martin Niemöller:

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.​

What more need be said?

Here here! I was actually thinking of this very verse today. It seems to be more and more relevant.

I don't think we're really at the tipping point WRT enforcement. The biggest travesty at this point is law abiding MA citizens are blocked from purchasing the rifles that they otherwise would be able to buy.

[10thSFFD]

I am not angry. I am very happy. That may sound strange but many of you may recall beginning of 2016 and late 2015 when many of us were still quite confused. Back then, I was very frustrated because I saw it coming. Not because I am a visionary but because everything was pointing in the direction I personally experienced twice in my life already.

And it slowly arrived here. We are again the first state to be tested. Bring it on!

I am happy because I have found you and I am not alone anymore.

This forum is excellent. Thank you all!

Let's not fail this test!

 

[45collector]

I still feel guilty for not attending the rally Saturday. Family obligations are important, and we're dealing with stuff we didn't have to deal with back in '14 when I was able to make it to two of the state house rallies.

Everyone has their own level of involvement they can contribute to this thing. I have seen lots of name calling and accusations in the multiple threads on this subject in the last 5 days, and it's really sad. We are one group, no matter our political, religious or philosophical backrounds. We have a task at hand, and I will most certainly throw in some money to anyone who is dragged in on charges based on Healey's tyranny.

Yes. It will be rifles today, certain books tomorrow, web sites censored or shut down........The Erdogan Way:

Erdogan has declared a state of emergency, which allows him to sign new laws without prior parliamentary approval and limit rights as he deems necessary. The government has said these steps are needed to root out supporters of the coup and will not infringe on the rights of ordinary Turks.

My wife and I have had several conversations. I have let her know my stance and my beliefs.
I feel when it comes time for confiscation that is where the metal is going to be tested.
I have seen so many comments in the past on this site that always finds some fault with the individual in question. The well psgwsp, or everyone knows xyz and even though it wasn't illegal they still shouldn't have done it etc etc.
This attitude must stop. Once we start hearing of confiscations. We must band together. A single person is easily defeated.
I think back on the Bundy ranch crapstorm a while back. You had Americans aiming there rifles at government and holding them at bay.
We must be ready to support each other and put our own asses on the line or otherwise shut up enjoy our air rifles or cap guns because that's all we will be allowed

There is safety in numbers.

We need to initiate "Mad Minutes" at our gun ranges. Pack as many in as possible, and as safely as possible take aim at your target and let fly volleys all across the Commonwealth.

Same Day, same hour, same minute, same second. In unison.

Fill the ranges with Ar's, Ak's, 10-22's. Anything that goes bang.

It may be feasible for LE's to apply the law to one or two individuals, but a squad or platoon of men and women. Good luck.

 

[BobR51]

I guess I'm a little confused, am I suppose to be afraid to shoot my AR at the range now?
I don't get it. Is this and inside RT. 495 belt kind of thing?
Cause I see no reason not to.
Also. This while"I'm a felon" nonsense is a little over the top IMHO.
I choose to not be a felon. I Refuse to be namely because in order to be one, it must be done,
by my hand.
Nobody else can make me a felon, not Maura and her magic pen or any other politician.
Like stated,the problem is gun shops can't sell new modern sporting rifles as of now.

Bitter Fudds will be bitter Fudds.

We have the same audio trigger system. When anyone is shooting (>)5.56 caliber at the rifle range- it does auto launch the clays.

Then the trap shooters just switch to "press button to launch clay" feature on the machine. Problem solved.
