We should all wear plad and 511 pants so we can know who we are.....You guys have to get out to meet-ups and start the ball rolling. The Patriots of 1775 would meet at the Green Dragon Tavern or the Bunch of Grapes.
We have to "Get Active... Or, Get Out"
Yes I mentioned that in my testimony. I said it’s a huge problem and a huge slap in the face to commissioner Gross and the rest of his police officers making the arrests.BTW, was there any mention of how pathetic the MA judicial system is in regards to lack of prosecution and putting obvious gun criminals back out on the streets with nothing but wrist slaps?

well shit, I was in Cambridge today and had no idea this shit was going on.

Cant embed the video yet, but here is some of the footage from the news last night:
Mass. Lawmakers' Hearing On Proposed Gun Bills Sparks Hours Of Debate
From all indications, it wasn't any kind of debate.....not even close. It was a begging session with subjects( not citizens) begging that their rights not be further infringed by a determined, immovable and oppressive state legislature.
I went there to bear witness of and in defiance of those that brought forth these bills to further enslave our right of self defense.
To support our fellow brothers and sisters that carry arms to protect their loved ones and the rights of our people and the future of this great nation!
I went because I have a moral obligation to all the those that died for such a right that I exercise, shall not have died in vain!
Please remember, everyone, that there are many, many MANY of us who simply can NOT take a day off from our work/job/business etc etc to attend, yet we support and raise a glass to those who do.Big thanks to all those who attended. True patriots. Here's to you.
Boris, your Russian collusion skills have been severely weakened recently. NES politbyro recommends frequent stops at NES Dead Drop Falls to stay updated and also protected from the Media Fatigue. The last thing we need in our fight for our rights is another Sterlitz cluelessly wondering in the Cambridge wilderness alone!
I and the other two guys haunting the meeting room entrance all saw you.I was wearing a black tricorn hat.
those four ^ look like about as much fun as cancer
And that was me sitting next to DarthRaven.

Representative Chynah Tyler, a Roxbury Democrat, filed four bills that have the backing of Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins, including one that would limit most gun buyers — not including law enforcement, for example — from purchasing more than one firearm in a 30-day period.
. . .
One measure proposed by Representative David P. Linsky would require those seeking a license to undergo several hours of live firearm training, including shooting at least 50 rounds of ammunition. Linsky equated the state’s current gun laws to allowing someone to get their driver’s license without first taking a road test.
Is there any video of her testimony? Those of us who wanted to attend but couldn't would like to hear her speak, I'm sure.Yes there was.
A woman on our side gave a very brave and emotional account of being raped and how she fears for her life because of this and now carries a pistol.
How that the rapist went to jail and continued to rape women and is going to be set free again.
Adding the additional burden of these new bills would prohibit her and other people that don't have the finances to afford them will be left defenseless.
After listening to her testimony with tears running down my face I stood up and applauded her bravery!
The panel wasn't happy with that gesture.
As I gathered my things to leave I said you ought to be ashamed of yourselves!
Yes, and many thanks to you and others who updated us during this event.
What did we learn?
Are we united?
Do we have united message we can repeat over and over again for media hungry for simple soundbites?
Do we have passion?
Do we have resources?
What I see here is a bunch of brave individuals who do not know each other and who are trying their best. But they are all behind the wall of moms. These brave men are all ignored by media and they will be ignored by Massachusetts politicians also.
What has to happen to change it?
I’ll have to dig it up but I believe it was WCVB that played some of it during their 6pm segmentIs there any video of her testimony? Those of us who wanted to attend but couldn't would like to hear her speak, I'm sure.
I think you’re looking at the wrong row. Andrew1220 has the orange GOAL hat and I’m to the leftUnless I've got the wrong row, you need to stop looking so panicked and DR needs to back off the peroxide in his/her hair.
OK.. Was looking for her entire testimony if possible... cuz the effin "Media" in this wonderful Liberal Mecca would, if they could, take video a pro-gunner's statement of "I don't need to carry a gun just for my own safety, I need a gun for my entire family's safety here in a state where violent criminals are released every week and.. " and the "media" will edit it to "I don't need a gun.." and quickly stop the video, and go back to the anchor desk for "This just in, breaking news, we now go to Senator Elizabeth Warren campaign headquarters where she's about to officially announce..." (insert puke sound here)I’ll have to dig it up but I believe it was WCVB that played some of it during their 6pm segment
On the one hand the general concept is delightful. Something_ like a lapel pin customizable with screen names in a large-enough-to-read font would also be great.
But not at a hearing.
While this time I didn't testify, I made sure to wear a polo shirt. And I was jealous of the guys that wore button-down shirts who presented an even more presentable image to the legislators and audience.
(Don't worry - when it finally hits the fan, I think the NES uniform should be a browncoat. And "I Aim To Misbehave" trumps "I Will Not Comply", but it ruins the effect to print that on the coat someplace).......
Yeah, I was out of Shithole MA all month (boy it was awesome) so not sure what the next step? This is committee, so they vote to send it to the bills to a chamber right? When should we start calling people on specific votes?

I may or may not have been recognized by some in the back from my running commentary of muttered snark as the anti's spewed lies
