Yes, call and write your rep. But meet with them in person, have your arguments well thought out. Deal with the issue in the context of the time and place (MA), don't hand them a pile of pages written by the founding fathers. This last may feel like you are making a point but you will be seen as a fanatic and become the subject of inside jokes.I think we have all grown tired of Linsky throwing shit on the wall to see if it sticks.
But write your reps anyway, especially the tyrannical ones who are duped into thinking gun control is the answer even though we all know what the answer is.
We need to fight this crap before it spreads.
nah, too much botheration. gotta complain here and bitch on forum and then see the bill approved to bitch about it again some more.Yes, call and write your rep. But meet with them in person, have your arguments well thought out
Interesting bill. All semi auto shotguns and rifles would become illegal. BUT the way he makes the changes, semi auto "firearms" so handguns, SBRs, SBSs, etc are no longer illegal. Unintended consequence of his stupidity and not knowing what his edits will do and what the law actually means...
That bounce is hypnotizing!
That’s great for him . If things turn badly he will call you for help . I hope we never need our firearms, but I would rather have one and not need it then not have one .I worked with a guy who was in the navy reserves, born and brainwashed in MA (Natick). Total Anti.
Total weenie
I read the bill and they are nuts .There's nothing unintended about the language used in the bill. He genuinely wants to outlaw as much as he can possibly get away with.
I'm afraid PETA and I would be on the same side there. Can't do it. I remember contacting him on the bump stock bill he originally submitted, the one that made it illegal just to make it possible to fire a gun faster. Like Katherine Clark, he will not condescend to consider whether there might be any validity to an opposing view. He thinks the only reason you would disagree with him is because he is smarter and knows better, so the only response required is for him to reiterate his position. Since that just irritates me, the only feedback that dipshit will get from me is a vote for whoever runs against him.And if your rep in Linsky, bring a gift, I hear he likes goats, since you won't win with him anyway.
Does the bill regard a DA revolver as a semi-automatic handgun?
I am not sure about that . It sounds like it bans any and all semi Automatic guns . I believe revolversDoes the bill regard a DA revolver as a semi-automatic handgun?
Just got an email from FPC that this bill is advancing and to contact my senator, like that's going to make any difference
Good - pass it
Why? Because it then objectively crosses the line with Heller and takes out the entire scheme.
We live in a communist state . I don’t think contacting our state reps will help .This government will lie cheat and steal to get the results they want .but would that prohibit the mass.gov from implementing it? You know how it works. Press ahead while the courts dick around.

The problem with that attitude is that while you MAY be right, not reaching out and trying to get them on your side GUARANTEES how they will vote.We live in a communist state . I don’t think contacting our state reps will help .This government will lie cheat and steal to get the results they want .

I have called and emailed . I agree it’s worth a try . This state gets away with everything. It would be fantastic if someone had a lawsuit against them to stop the BS. If they keep going like this we will be like Australia . They took all there guns including hunting rifles . I don’t think they have the right to steal our firearms that we worked hard to buy . I am hoping they are asking for everything and maybe they will settle for less.The problem with that attitude is that while you MAY be right, not reaching out and trying to get them on your side GUARANTEES how they will vote.
So it's a maybe v. a guarantee. You either go for it or you become part of the problem.
Who was it that said "For evil to prevail all you need is for good men to do nothing". Do you really want to be one of those that does nothing?

Are safe from this bill . ...
Not unless they change the definition of “semi-auto”, which this proposal does not do. Current definition of “semi-auto” in Mass law:Does the bill regard a DA revolver as a semi-automatic handgun?
A revolver does not use a portion of the energy from firing a round, it uses your finger.''Semiautomatic'', capable of utilizing a portion of the energy of a firing cartridge to extract the fired cartridge case and chamber the next round, and requiring a separate pull of the trigger to fire each cartridge.
in all likelihood, my call will not ever make a difference. Doing nothing at all will also never make a difference.

So does a FRT, but that didn't stop the AFT from calling it a machine gun.A revolver does not use a portion of the energy from firing a round, it uses your finger.
People still own, buy and shoot guns there. I don’t know where you got that info. I don’t know the particulars of where and who turned in their firearms because of control freaks passing laws there doing so, but it was not “all”If they keep going like this we will be like Australia . They took all there guns including hunting rifles .
True, but the definition of a “machine gun” just says it has to fire multiple rounds with a "single function” of the trigger. The ATF’s argument around bump stocks and FRTs was that there was a single “function” of the trigger and the multiple rounds being fired were the result of the bump stock or the FRT. Their claim was that a bump stock or a FRT was acting as "Any part designed and intended solely and exclusively or combination of parts designed and intended for use in converting a weapon into a machinegun” and were therefore, under NFA, machineguns. I don’t agree with their argument, but they are claiming that you are performing a "single function” of the trigger when you use a bump stock or an FRT.So does a FRT, but that didn't stop the AFT from calling it a machine gun.
I was watching Fox News and they said that the government was taking all firearms .People still own, buy and shoot guns there. I don’t know where you got that info. I don’t know the particulars of where and who turned in their firearms because of control freaks passing laws there doing so, but it was not “all”

My Rep is in the military reserves and has an LTC. He is a Dem and votes with the herd for his paycheck every time. I’m done wasting my time calling and writing. The only way to make a difference is to get out and run for office yourself in this state.in all likelihood, my call will not ever make a difference. Doing nothing at all will also never make a difference.
Fox is wrong on the All firearms.I was watching Fox News and they said that the government was taking all firearms .
Australia confiscated 650,000 guns. Murders and suicides plummeted.
