The government doesn't piss test because of the fourth amendment yet tramples the second.

Yeah, because licensed gun owners are the problem, and all the nutcases with a beef against some local pol will observe the no guns sign, and wait patiently across the street before shooting someone.
They have a very hard time banning all guns, so they will start to chip away at our rights this way, by banning firearms on certain properties. Starting with Natick, others will follow making the law abiding having to eventually leave firearms at home. I can see it now. [roll eyes]

No one was shot, no one knows if the guy who didn't shoot anyone even had a gun, so the proper course of action is to pass a law banning guns from public property? Makes perfect sense. Let's extend that reasoning a little.
It was a guy, so he probably has a penis and testicles. No one saw them, and he didn't sexually assault anyone, but to prevent any future sexual assaults, perhaps Natick should ban anyone with male genitalia from public property.
Make all of Natick a "penis free" zone and put up appropriate signage.

It would become very confusing and unmanageable if every hamlet, city, and town passed their own set of firearm restrictions. The state laws should be all that is necessary. To go beyond what is State and Federal statute and write your own picayune restrictions is ludicrous. How is a lawful gun owner carrying on a lawful LTC supposed to keep abreast of regulations that are different in every locality.
This is absurd. We need a bill filed that will make only state and federal regulations the only laws that will be enforced, PERIOD.

Crime will be reduced. For sure.
What a ****ing joke.

How about Natick specifically bans police details within city limits since the detail officers rarely ever do anything besides sit in their vehicle and read the newspaper. It's a common sense cost savings that should be implemented immediately.
The "over reaction" here tells me that the town administrator and the chief have irrational fears based on nothing more than speculation. Isn't THAT a mental disorder based on the DSM-IV? Do we want employees who irrationally fear lumps and bumps under clothing, in positions of power? Argument and heated exchanges are what town meetings are FOR. For someone to project THEIR fears onto YOU and feel that you will act as THEY FEAR THEMSELVES CAPABLE OF, and call that a valid platform for response, is, irrational, and thus a mental disease.
I am a TMM in Natick and I cannot WAIT to address this in public forum.
(I was "persuaded" from teaching a FREE firearm safety course in Natick town buildings because someone there "feared" having guns in the building). Watch out for the Frankenstein mob coming to YOUR town next!

He "APPEARED" to have a gun?
He either had one or he didn't!
If that isn't the ultimate Bullsh*t, lame assed, fear mongering fairy tale crap, I don't know what is.
You guys that live there hopefully will hammer that story hard.

It's ok,they have no balls right now.
Defund the pd at town meeting
So I can only assume that MASS has no state preemption? You could not pass this load of sh!t in Rhode Island BECAUSE the state has preemption. The only laws a town can pass is actual discharge distances in relation to houses.

There is to a degree - I don't think the town can impose any criminal penalties without an approved "home rule petition".
These local things pop up from time to time, and often die once the facts are examined. It happened 20+ years ago when then selectman Fessenden was shocked, shocked I tell you, that AR15 were sold at the Arms Merchant (now the location of B&K); then in Weston not so long ago. Hopefully this one will die as well.

IIRC, Natick has an ordinance that prohibits sale of lighters and matches to minors.
It was proposed by a minor that had a psychological condition that made him start fires.
At least, they're consistent.![[rolleyes]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/042.gif "Roll Eyes [rolleyes]")

Since we are so keen on banning things:
I propose a ban on SWAT teams in Natick, and a ban on Natick police officers participating in regional SWAT teams.
Who will sign my town meeting warrant? We only need 10 signatures!

perhaps Natick can also ban auditory and visual hallucinations as well, so we don't have to worry about any psychotic folks -> violent.

Imagine being arrested, charged, brought before a jury and lose and jailed because someone you've never seen, or met, had a panic attack and called the police because he/she thought you had a gun, and all the legal system required for conviction was proof the person had a panic attack, said the word "gun" and pointed at you.
This should be brought up in any discussions held about this latest ban. Make sure it is on cable TV, going out to the masses. Call the cable TV folks and invite them over to have them record it, if that is what it takes. It is up to YOU to create your own destiny.
Every city/town in MA that I've ever been in, the meters are effective Mon-Sat. Some places (tourist places) also include Sundays. ALWAYS read the meter and don't assume anything.
The selectman mentioned, Josh Ostroff, he's a douche. A good friend of Linsky's, a Dem town committee member (long time) and a big time far left liberal. The majority on the school board and selectmen are also members of the democrat town committee. Natick is much more like Newton than 20 yrs ago. Quite a few who moved to a town, then tried to change it.
