One gun a month bill/law trying to be passed contact them now before its to late!!!

henchmen77 · Apr 13, 2007

Here are the names of the senators that people should contact to fight this bill/law of (one gun a month) for a limit of 12 a yr. which was put in by: Jarrett T. Barrios [email protected] 309 722-1650

I think shooters need to email/mail and call to be heard or we are in trouble also dealers really need to ban together on this one!! I already sent my mail off to mine and a few other senators.

Guys if we don't ban togther and speak up we are really in trouble this time!! email a few if not all of them below let them know that this bill does nothing to stop criminals just hurts us legal firearms owners and dealers don't think GOAL can win this for us without us calling and doing our part!!! There are some good parts to the bill like longer jail time and hire bails. But over all its bad for us.

It was meant to get people!! It will not take them long once the budget is done this is the next thing you can bet will be on the plate!! Get a fire under your friends and dealers to make there calls now before its to late!!

Email call and keep them rolling in to there office till they vote on it, I plan on it so should all of you. This state has just been getting out of control with the laws and its time we are heard on this bill/law!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

depicts · Apr 13, 2007

Shouldn't we be writing to our state Reps, since this bill is proposed in the house??

Have you got a list of them?

Yes, write your senators, but don't neglect where the bill will start

I just finished writing individual E mails to each person on that list, including Rep Barrios. I hope they were all Senators, because I addressed them as such. The following is basically what I said:

Dear Senator XXXXXXX

I want to express my opposition to the current bills being proposed by Rep Barrios that include annual inventory of guns by the State Police. This part of his proposal sounds like something out of 1930' Germany, and would set a dangerous precedent. What would be next, the State Police coming into my house to see if I removed the "Do not remove" tag from my mattress.

One gun a month also hurts the legal gun owner. We apply for permits, get background checks, have a NICS check done, and follow the law. Criminals are not for the most part getting their guns in gun shops, and they don't follow the rules. They are already breaking the laws, what makes Rep Barrios think they would obey this one.

As to his proposal to ban all bullets that can penetrate body armor he evidently doesn't know that most hunting rifles can pierce body armor, so in fact he would be banning all those guns. He is trying to ban the Herstal FiveseveN pistol because it can penetrate body armor, It is already illegal to sell that gun in this state.

I am all for harsher penalties for people convicted of using a gun in a crime. I also think the existing laws would be much more effective if they were enforced, especially mandatory sentencing.

There are laws on the books to cover about anything. When legislation like this is proposed, it's smoke and mirrors. It doesn't accomplish anything, but it makes voters feel like their Reps are doing something about the gun violence. It only hurts the legal firearms owner, who are among the most law abiding segment of our society.

Recent headline from Boston make it seem like there is an explosion of guns on the street. These are gang bangers, and their neighborhoods don't help police to catch the criminals. Why should the whole state of Massachusetts be punished for a few pockets of gangs in Boston, or Lowell or other urban ghettos?

Please oppose this bill if it comes to you in the Senate, and use any influence you have to defeat this proposed bill.

Thank You

William D'Espinosa

I imagine GOAL has some sort of alert system set up to do this. They must have phone banks (I worked on one once!), flyers, postcards, etc. with all the money they get from the NRA.

Better still are more grassroots (webroots?) organizing. Things like phone trees, where you call 4 people, they call 4, and so on. GOAL must also have a network of clubs to notify who will in turn notify members.

Right?

henchmen77 · Apr 13, 2007

I work in the state house and I have not seen the GOAL rep at all the past week. And also if they just hear from GOAL and not from all us shooters they are just going to pass the bill.

As a shooter you have to call your Rep/Senator and let them know or mail them a letter you will get the basic letter back telling you thanks for writing but the more letters they get, the more they wake up and see this is a issue important to shooters in Mass.

Email the newpapers get letters printed in the papers all this helps and adds up, just be smart about how you do it don't be rude or come off as a nut.

I have been shooting for over 18yrs and there are a few Reps in my office that are Pro gun but they are out # by the amount of anti-gun Reps there are in the house, So the more these guys hear from you the more they will vote the way you want them to vote.

Underwhere · Apr 15, 2007

I sent emails off to 4 or 5.

henchmen77 · Apr 16, 2007

If you go onto www.fsguns.com carl has part of the Gov speach where he said one gun a month was working in state like VA. Guess that will come back to bite him after today.

This shooting in VA should show this guys we have in Office, that one gun a month does nothing to stop nuts!!! I just hope that this guy was not a legal gun owner that went nuts in VA!!!

Update: Good news the pistols he used had there SN# filed off so I would take it that he didn't get them legal!!

You're assuming that those in office are honest, logically thinking and act with integrity. They're not. They know gun control is BS; they want it to reinforce their own power regardless of the evidence that gun control doesn't do any of the things they claim it does. They won't let facts and right vs wrong types of issues get in their way.

henchmen77 · Apr 17, 2007

Here the Gov office #: Concerned gun owners should immediately contact the Governors office at 617-725-4005. Politely tell his staff that you are opposed to further restrictions on lawful gun owners and urge the Governor to meet with Gun Owners' Action League's Executive Director to learn more about the failure of gun control in Massachusetts and how we need to fix the current laws.

I did this and got the run around by one of his aids but she did say they have been getting alot of calls around this so lets keep it up people!!!

Far · Apr 17, 2007

Damn you guys must all have a lot of disposable income. I could not affrod 12 guns a year and I make good money. I know it's principal...

I can't believe we still are not allowed to have flash hiders and collapsable stock in CT. That's something to bitch about.

You have to think about what this is going to do to dealers!!! they have a hard time as it is making any money if you limit how many handguns you can buy, its bad as it is with the AG limit on what can be sold its going to be like england if we all thought like you do!!

They take alittle away at a time next thing you know you will have no guns at all.

You hit the nail on the head. They tried this in RI last year and thank god it died in committee. This will drive every one of your dealers out of business. You guys won't see another new gun as long as you live.

Is it better to email random people or your actual state reps? I'm assuming state reps.

I emailed my state reps. I'll call them tomorrow.

Len-2A Training · Apr 18, 2007

Best to write them and then follow up with a phone call.

If you are actually known to them beforehand, then Email may be respected. But random Email is usually discounted. This was told to me by my State Rep, who I've known for many more years than he's had that job.

It's a lot easier if you have a fed type 03 C+R license... dunno how those work
in CT, though. Lots and lots of C+R elegible handguns and rifles are
inexpensive compared to their modern counterparts.
