Just a thought on the route. It might be more beneficial if the route incorporated passing by a few key legislator's residences to let the know we are not going away. If everyone honks on the way past it would get a few people's attention.
Endpoint should be in front of Healy house
Is felon the correct term or should it be criminal? Isn't a felon someone already convicted of a crime?
Tweaked the font to fix over-bright red. Still working on an outline for the font or similar.
Also, here's another option I've mocked up real quick:
...A felon has committed a felony. If they are convicted in court then they are a convicted felon.

That's why we have to stop being on the defensive and get into that debate about her promises and semantics. We need to just keep hammering our own messages and put her on the defensive.
Maybe we should just drive in circles around the Statehouse and 1 Ashburton. With enough cars we may achieve an unbroken column of 2A dominating the streets of Beacon Hill for a few hours.
Silversnake, I like where you are going with this. I only have PowerPoint but played around with your messages a bit. Here are some alternative words.
I like this too.
How about something like "Close the AG law enactment loophole"
There is probably a slightly better way to phrase it than that though.
Also, with regard to all the talk about making us all felons in waiting: you know they will just keep pointing out her claim of 'nobody who bought these before 7/20 will be prosecuted, trust me" and will try to spin it so we look paranoid.
At this point, it might be worth not focusing only on the AG considering the appearance of collusion between the AG's office and the DeLeo's office by not allowing any bills to challenge the edict. It sure looks like the AG's office had help from some in the legislature to make sure this goes unchallenged.
There are probably only two ways this issue can get resolved: the courts or the legislature. Attacking only Healy will probably not be helpful with either of those. In other words: you need to get people to understand that the legislature also sat back and let this go unchallenged.
Thats why I included the "Governor, House & Senate can do NOTHING" line. Can they do something? Sure they can. But why haven't they? Make them all explain it. I was going to use "Baker, DeLeo & Rosenthal can do NOTHING" but I don't think most people know who the players are by name.

It should say Governor, and legislature WON'T do anything, not that they can't. They are intimidated.

I took a spin on this and came up with a couple other poster/sign ideas:
