We need a state constitutional amendment to prevent completely unrelated shit like this being tacked onto bills.
These changes should have been subject to hearings and a comment period.
It’s going to be a big headache for the state to be reprinting larger batches of licenses each year in addition to the postage.
The virtue signaling lemmings in the legislature have no idea how big of a headache they created for public employees because of the logistics involved.
1990.Do you remember the last time the state amended the state constitution?
Are you kidding?We need a state constitutional amendment to prevent completely unrelated shit like this being tacked onto bills.

Certain members (e.g. Linsky and Jaques)
When everything is illegal, EVERYTHING is legal. If you know, you know.Face it. With enough time... we're ALL criminals.
Time to start thinking like one...

The application drop off that everyone has to do anyway will likely be the “interview”. The 3yr license is the real bullsh!t.
Yes and no.
Certain members (e.g. Linsky and Jaques) are actively hostile to gun ownership in MA. I've been present at their events where they badmouthed GOAL specifically and gun owners generally. They can write things like this behind closed doors, without word getting to Jim.
This isn't to say GOAL is perfect, nor to attack you, but some battles can't be fought with certain weapons. This one almost certainly was destined to go this way, especially since restrictions rolled over so quickly.
And I have the fortune of being represented by Decker and JehlenMarjorie C. Decker Democrat - 25th Middlesex (Cambridge), is also a huge foe of 2a and close friend of Maura Healy.
Marjorie and her staff have been putting together a lot of bills, some anti 2a for end of session, come August.
They are circling the cauldron, now that Maura is basically running unopposed.
Thanks. I should have known that, but had given up on tracking for a bit.Jacques has been gone for years, but her comment "I do not seek, nor do I want, votes from GOAL members", combined with her inability to win by anything less than a landslide, shows what we are up against here in MA.
I posted screenshots:Any links to the vote so we can see how each rep voted?
The losers (besides LTC holders) will be the local police who will, after all the 6 year LTCs expire and the 3 year cycle is in full force, need to double the amount of time they spend processins applications, not counting the extra time for departments that were doing renewals without an in person interview. If the police lobby were aware of this in time, chances are it would have been pulled.
Frost said the requirement that police chiefs meet personally with firearm license applicants for an interview will create an “administrative nightmare” for local police departments.
I love this. The only thing that might draw my suitability into question was that I wanted to talk to my licensing authority in person which was refused. This is gonna make for an interesting meeting..
Technically he didn’t have to talk to me because I wasn’t renewing. I was trying to be polite and give them a heads up but it just ended up making me look like a complete f***ing a**h*** because I was irate. But you didn’t see me climbing any clock towers. If all they have is one time in six years I was an a**h***. As far as suitability goes that’s pretty good.
The time is coming, I’m gonna start suing everybody. The police aren’t high on my list. But it has the makings of a great lawsuit. And then I’ll leave the state. Get my guns back and do whatever I want
One hopes the CoPs are scrambling to call their senators and the governor. As shitty as this deal is for gun owners, it's far worse for PDs.
Ahh, your forgetting a sex change for Gov. Day.I know Rep Day, he’s dumb as a stump and a clear “lifer” In the system. He‘ll be suckling on the Commonwealth teat long after we‘re all gone. He used to be at one of the big law firms, and how he managed that miracle is a mystery to everyone in the legal profession. He never made partner, so, they likely caught on. he Thinks he’s going to be governor or senator someday, if he weren’t a white guy I would say he has a shot, but, too many liberal females and minorities will always be ahead of him on the liberal ticket these days. Maybe he could be a cuckold LT. gov someday to get the white vote and he’ll pretend to be the “working class white guy“ on their ticket.
I can guarantee you that neither he, nor anyone on his staff has the brain power to craft or revise any law. He’s getting all of his marching orders from libs higher up and national anti-2a groups, who probably drafted his changes for him.
Commies don't care about logistics, you should know that.We need a state constitutional amendment to prevent completely unrelated shit like this being tacked onto bills.

@SheistyOne ... proved my point.Please, lead by example. Start by telling us all the work you have done to help our rights in this State.
Then you can start calling others "useless donkeys"
Go ahead, tell us ...
They'll declare that not being a felony a loophole.Carrying on an expired LTC wouldn't be my first time...
