Bottom line. We've had enough and our rights are being strip mined for entertainment purposes and votes that will keep hacks in power for ages. Enough has been taken with nothing given in return.
When does it end? Never.
Perhaps DU will give you the happy ending that you desire. It won't be found on this board. Hit the road and peddle the snake oil elsewhere.
Attorney Cohen is a backstabbing attention whore and screws us whenever he sees an opportunity to use us as stepping stones.

I was on a BOD for a few terms and if it was up to me if you didn't belong and maintain membership to GOAL you would be NOT ACCEPTED as a member. Sadly, money these days over rules reason and cause. Clubs need to spend money and they can't do it on >$100.00/yr.
It's a lot easier to sit in the background bitching and complaining about stuff you don't get off your ass to fix. No wonder I never want to get involved at a management level again!
As for MARGO they can ESAD. Too many people willing to remove what few rights (barely) we have left.

I sincerely hope Four seasons and any other dealer reading this takes note about the general disapproval from us... your customers. Cut ties with MARGO NOW or risk loosing future business.
For MA gun owners there are no compromises, only concessions.
The sooner people get this in their head the better we'll be. That's just the first step.
GOAL has been around for years preventing further bullshit that you don't even know about. Look it up for yourself.

Gun owner "compromise" always ends up with us losing rights. their idea of "compromise" is just how much we lose. Isn't a compromise supposed to be give and take? So can anyone tell me what gun owners GAIN in these "compromises"?
Another gun owner here , who is disgusted with any group that wants to compromise my rights away.
And to kick the dead horse : A compromise is a two way exchange. I saw nothing in MARGO that defines compromise.
One more Kick : I dont want a compromise. I want "Repeal."

Yeah, compromise gets you nothing but more laws on law abiding gun owners that criminals will not follow. Compromise is working so well for us in CT now. LOL

Still no sign of Rick Swasey or Bruce Blessington, huh? Seems pretty dumb of them to ignore NES beyond a hit-and-run post trying to defend themselves without actually addressing the criticism. If you believe in your cause, and whatever you're spouting off to anyone who will listen (up to and including the Boston Globe), you should be able to have an open conversation about your positions.

We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately. - Ben Franklin at the signing of the Declaration of Independence
GOAL is the best we have, they work hard and cleaned things up when they needed too, albeit with a little push. We need to separate concerns about GOAL with fake groups like MARGO.
If you have question or concerns about GOAL, donate an afternoon to help out there and meet the staff and see what they do..

People on NES belong to states other than MA, want to bring GOALs numbers up? take a non-shooter shooting
lady atilla was spreading the good word in new york city of all places. an unlikely representative, she does her part to share shooting with folks to show that if this cute little girl does it... how bad are these people, REALLY?
That is good to hear. Many people have an anti-gun attitude because they don't know anyone who has guns. They only know what they see and hear in the MSM. When they meet a person that they perceive as 'normal,' someone they can identify with, they will sometimes rethink their attitude. "Hey, that could be me." It's not right, logical, or fair, it's simply human nature.
Karen McNutt's article was spot-on in describing how our gun rights have been slowly and consistently eroded in MA. One of her two strongest points to me were the fact that anybody who believes you can compromise is naïve.
"Compromise", when defined as it being used by the gun-haters is nothing more than self-destruction on the installment plan. Ms. McNutt's article spells out the history of that here in MA quite well. Just because the gun-haters call a forced concession a compromise doesn't make it one.
She has also hit the mark describing the leaders of the anti-gun movement as elitists, although I think that "hypocrites" is just as accurate.
I don't believe that you will ever satisfy the lust of these hypocrites to ban you and I from owning guns. Only when the unwashed masses are disarmed and dependent upon the government for what security these elites determine we are worthy of will they ever go away. Until that happens, then expect these so-called "compromises" to continue to re-appear.
The gun-haters are trying to eat our proverbial elephant one bite at a time. I have decided that there will be no more bites from my elephant.

I just want to know how 2 or 3 people make up a funny name and suddenly become an "organization" or "group" worthy of anything more than their own opinions?

Fair enough but I'm sure my point was made. Perhaps 5-10 K members here are from out of state so that would at least double the ranks for them.
As a board member I wanted to see every applicant be a member of GOAL, the NRA, or both if you were joining the club to shoot.

you think it is a mere 5 to 10k from outside the PDM (Mass isn't a republic hence I swapped the R for a D)
I've come to the conclusion that this thread would have been even better had it ended after post#2.
