Made all the calls, took all of 15 minutes. Got 3 humans who knew exactly why I was calling, and 3 voicemails. Make the call, they have to listen...
They may have to listen but that doesn't mean that they actually hear anything.

It's unreal how anti-gun he is, we all know he's a spineless RINO, but he's supports this stuff with literal glee.
There are still people who don't want to believe he conspired with Healy on her shitshow.
And will vote for him again.
The F*cker need to lose and lose big and he and the Republican party in this state needs to know who and why.
No more rinos.
The same for any other rino who signs this pos bill.
We're getting to be like the battered wife who will never press charges .
Called Pacheco's office - they were obviously getting a lot of calls so they shepherded me off the phone real quick
Left a message on O'Connell's phone saying I was very unhappy about her voting for the ban - she called me back very quickly and we spoke for a while
She stated that we should contact the committee members - I let her know that I would but expected her to also speak to them directly which would be much more effective
She also gave the line that one would need "intent" in order to be convicted - I replied that in Mass intent would be implied and that adding a target trigger would be seen as intent so how does that work for her daughters that are on the rifle team (they would have target triggers...)
I don't think she is really interested in pushing for or against this given the political climate but I would hope she would at least advocate for the Senate version

I was disappointed with her response to my email as well. Similar tone.
When this latest BS is past ("past", and hopefully not "passed"), how about we all kick in WHATEVER $$ we can and support anyone - literally anyone - who will run against and defeat this lunatic leftwing scumball Linsky.
I'd vote for a Dianne Wilkerson or Tom Finneran clone before I'd vote this f*cker back into office. Additionally, where's the "dirt" on this dirtball? He's a MA politician. There must be SOMETHING in his past that can be used against the maggot.
But focus on his latest nonsense first...and then find his mistress or gay lover or tranny hooker or...(actually, better find some other dirt...issues like those would probably make his poll numbers go UP, here in the CommonPuke of LiberChusetts).
Just sayin'

Don't forget to object to the process of this bill. They are pulling this crap More and moreto jam stuff through. I hammered my Senators and Representative on this has well.
The amendment came out of nowhere and gets rushed through the house and senate. Then they have the balls to have an open forum for public opinion. This is the same type of crap that the AG used by doing it at the end of the legislative session to eliminate resistance.

Status: (Engrossed) 2017-10-27 - Committee of conference appointed (Spilka-DiDomenico-deMacedo), in concurrence [H3979 Detail]
Maybe Linsky is involved in sexual harassment on beacon hill (We can only hope)
Apparently sexual harassment is a big issue on Bacon hill but the victims refuse to name names as it would be career ending as all the decisions are made by the ruling Politburo in back rooms and at "social" events while on ones...

Anyone know what happened?
So what/where is this pos legislation at this point??
I see this posted on non-mass site
What's the actual text now and what committee has it now to complain?
Shouldn't the message be No such amendments? What is the reasoning for recommending Tarr language? What gets banned next and burdens citizenry next if they can jam shit thru on appropriations bills last minute with no real public debate.

Just wondering out loud if there would be any legal issues for setting up a Gofundme and offering a reward for any information on Linsky that might result in him either resigning or in jail?.
Ever sit back and wonder when the legislature turned into the judicial system? Responsible MA gun owners have been tried and found guilty of a crime committed by a psycho on the other side of the country. Our sentance is confiscation of property without due process which might as well be a fine, a threat of jail time of we do not comply (up to 20 years) and of course then we have "suitability" that looms overhead. This isn't politicing a law, a law looks forward and changes the current. No, this is a sentencing hearing after a trial that only one person attended after the verdict had been made.
- Committee cannot agree and both amendments get dropped. Best case for us, but least likely given the near unanimous push to "do something"
I'm not sure that this scenario would be good for us.
If this amendment gets dropped, Linsky (or Creem or Chang-Diaz) would immediately file a much more "comprehensive" gun bill where bump fire stocks are just the tip of the iceberg. House and Senate leadership would fast-track it because "Trump isn't going to do anything about bump fire stocks" and to show that Massachusetts is a leader in gun control legislation. If the amendment stays in, DeLeo won't have an overarching reason to let another gun bill hit the floor.
