Person on twitter has been calling out the Massachusetts Legislators for not following due process and crimes against humanity

link please? I don't twittor, but we need more voices to join the chorus.
House bill passes, gets rushed to the governor at 23:59 on the 31st, we get porked again, and our overlords get to celebrate a compromise bill that prevents shutting down the government.

Disobedience? That's a laugh. I'd bet on 99% compliance with anything that they shove down gun owner's throats.
MA. gun owners are scared shitless to possess a magazine that doesn't meet their "massa's" approval.
Massachusetts aka Massa chooses it, as in everything gun related and whether you can exercise your rights.
No way. More than half probably won't even hear about the new laws. Compliance rates are low in NY and CT. mAss would be no different.

Holy hell, what a bunch of ****ing morons. I'd laugh except for the fact that these windowlickers are actually running the state.

I'm worried about this as well, especially since they seem to be stalling
This incident should remind everyone why the NRA sucks and we need more groups that actually support 2A.
The NRA should be out there screaming that MGs shouldn't even be illegal.
Update On Bump Stock Legislation
No Action On Bump Stock - Budget Bills
October 20, 2017
The budget bill debate currently at the State House, which includes the bump stock amendment(s) has come to a screeching halt due to a procedural error by the legislature. The error was created when the two legislative bodies neglected to vote on the same bill. Technically the senate was supposed to accept the house budget bill and then amend and vote. Instead they used, amended, and voted on their own bill, and this has caused the budget to come to a standstill as both sides are unsure at to how to proceed.
GOAL Exec. Director Jim Wallace has been at the State House every day awaiting word as to when the legislation will be back in play.
According to the information we have, the budget has to be signed by Governor Baker by midnight on October 31, 2017 so we expect something to happen soon.
You guys realize that this could all be nothing more than a high stakes game of media chicken right?
Everyone is so quick to assume that the NRA is a bunch of douche nozzles, nobody stops to think that they may have half a brain?
Keeping new laws off the books is the ultimate goal. Anything the ATF does can be changed overnight. If the NRA supports an ATF change to cutoff legislation and then neither come to fruition, who was the *******?
Can you explain how "anything the ATF does can be changed overnight..." is good for us if the repubs have house, senate, and WH? When will it be overturned? I think I'm missing something here
GOAL Alert
10/26/17
GOAL has learned that the MA House of Representatives engrossed a new budget bill during informal session today, which includes the Linsky amendment regarding modification of firearms. The language is in two parts.
The first section (Section 18), copied below, would make any basic modification and or maintenance of a firearm illegal, including required maintenance like lubrication of moving parts.
Section 131R. Whoever possesses, owns or offers for sale any device which attaches to a rifle, shotgun or firearm, except a magazine, that is designed to increase the rate of discharge of the rifle, shotgun or firearm or whoever modifies any rifle, shotgun or firearm with the intent to increase its rate of discharge, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison by not less than 3 nor more than 20 years.
The second section (Section 51) is equally egregious in that it gives EOPPS regulatory authority over all maintenance and enhancement of rifles, shotguns, and firearms. Can you imagine what AG Healey would do should EOPPS be granted this kind of authority? See language pasted below.
The Secretary of Public Safety shall promulgate regulations by January 1, 2018 concerning the allowability of maintenance and enhancement of rifles, shotguns and firearms consistent with the intent of this section.
We are being told that Governor Baker will sign this into law, by Tuesday, October 31, 2017. Please take action immediately
Take Action
Please call your state representative and senator immediately! Let them know that this amendment must be stripped from the budget bill. This language is so broad and open to interpretation and abuse that it will cause a legal quagmire for licensed gun owners in Massachusetts.
You can call the State House operator at 617-722-2000 and ask for your state representative and/or senator, or you can look up their direct phone number by clicking here.
Linsky's language is back in play. Please see alert from GOAL:
The point is that ATF letters can and do change at the whim of whatever moron is in charge. Legislation is much more difficult to reverse.
Who gives a flying **** if the Rtards have the house, senate, and oval office? They couldn’t pass a Prius in an F50 right now let alone roll back gun control.
It is not that they can't, they don't want to. Trump as president is revealing that many of the R are all talk and actually want what the D want. Given the R majorities, if they actually believe what they have said we would be seeing way more action. Ryan was just waiting for a chance to kill the gun bills, that's why he put them on ice instead of moving to pass them.
