Good God, will you guys ever get a reprieve?
Do we need a second American Revolution to start where the first one did?
Will this be it? Will this be the final push that sounds the rally cry? Will this further treading on our civil rights finally push people to ACT and not just BITCH? Will this be the one pivotal moment that will encourage GOAL to at last address a question (s) I have been asking for months? Do you think it's time for all this nicey-nice and feel-good festivals to end and a tooth-n-nail fight to begin? Do you think it's time to build a legal defense fund so we may begin to challenge this insanity in open court? How is it that a meeting takes place with the AG about licensing and nothing about EOPS? I am not the only one asking these questions and I am growing weary of being either unheard or ignored....Isn't it time to really FIGHT???

If this passes... I'm finding a job outside of MA and writing every one who votes for it a letter telling them due to this law I have found a job outside of this state and they just lost $X,XXX a year in tax revenue.
The problem is that we bitch and moan like we do about every right that they steal from us but it doesn't matter to them, they just put up with the bitching. They're still getting the votes from a majority of liberal morons who have no care one way or the other on the gun issue, or are close to being unaware of the gun issue when they make their voting decision.
It's mathematics. You need a total of x votes to keep your job and population n is voting for you and population u is voting against you. Well if x>n-u, then SCREW U.
These people.All right...this is f*cking enough! Who do I write to?

I suck at math, I screwed up that whole formula I think, so I took it out. But we get the point.....
Met Don Kusser at Braintree yesterday, and I guess he's on the board of G.O.A.L. He said the NRA "gave" them one of the lawyers (Atwater, maybe...? The name is eluding me) that worked on the SCOTUS case, and they're going to start trying to pick apart the laws here. I guess one of the big problems with going up against the laws on a regular basis has been available capital. Lawyers ain't cheap, and if you so much as dream about one chances are he's going to file it as billable hours.
I wonder if this bill is slated for approval despite our best efforts. We are all generally aware that the Massachusetts gubernatorial position is a training step for other and better administrative positions elsewhere. So, in that light, what has Patrick got to lose? He is not likely to remain as governor past the midpoint of the next year –either nominee for the president may pull him to diversify their administration…that’s just one avenue.
This is not to say that we shouldn’t mete our displeasure and thoughts to him as well as to those whom we voted for and are they whom we want to vote against this bill like our reps.
But……………
I also wonder if this is a yellow tinged flag? Its not a white flag of surrender by any means, but is the state realizing that with the recent Heller decision, that the firearms laws here are about to change? And if so, that they must now approve licensees without regard to discretionary approval processes; meaning that the firearms fees and licenses are now a proverbial goldmine for revenue as the rest of the budget continues to spiral and collapse?
Are these the tinkering bells in the distance from a procession of sacraments or is my hearing just bad?

Every time fighting a legal battle is mentioned here, someone - (namely myself) states that doubling membership fees, (or more) if 100% covered legal fees is always mentioned. Each time it's mentioned +1's fly, so I'm not alone in this. Sure, the numbers also speak volumes, but so does the challenge to the law....
For a self-interest plug...don't we have enough fing Democrats on Beacon Hill?
Vote Republican. You want change? I'll give you change.
