Guess what? A lot of bad things aren't happening here, partly because there aren't a lot of guns around
Seriously question for you: what's your interest in getting guns into Newton MA? Do you live here? Why are you commenting on this? Because I live here, and we're doing fine without guns.
Welcome to the forum. If you're here to actually listen to people that have an opinion that differs from yours, you'll learn. If you're just trying to stir up some entertainment, we can do that on our own.
To answer your question, "our" interest is that people be allowed to do things that are lawful, and that they not be oppressed or marginalized because of others' dislike.
Persons that live in Newton, and are properly licensed are not unable to get the firearms that they want. So, the idea that saying, "Not here!" will in any material way affect the supply of the firearms is just plain silly.
I don't know what other businesses are around the proposed shop that you patronize - from what I've read, there is an ice cream shop, and a cannabis dispensary. I'd hit the ice cream place, but not the weed emporium (not my thing)...but as long as the items sold are lawful, what should my opinion of your choice matter? Why should my opinion constrain
your choice?
To purchase a firearm or ammunition at the proposed shop, one would need a State-issued license. To get the license, you need to be squeaky-clean, criminal record-wise. People that would patronize the shop are some of the most law-abiding and responsible in the Commonwealth. They're not doing "A lot of bad things." Or, even a few of them, for that matter.
Now, I don't know if you're here to do opposition research, and I don't care. I think that most here would say directly to you in person what they post; I know I would...
.but please notice that you have not been banned, or kicked off, or shut out, as, apparently pro-shop posters have been, on other forums/platforms.
Think about it. And, post again. This advice is given to all new posters on NES: you need a thick skin. That said, if you stick around, and listen, you just may learn something.
