No democrats, but I am sure there are some MA republicans that are concerned.

John Velis is the only democrat I would vote for. He told me that he was opposed to the bill and that he thought it had no chance of passing. Then he caved and voted for it.

Too bad, because he seemed like a good guy. He always shows up to the veteran remembrances around here and is very approachable.

John Velis has historically voted "NO" on most (if not all) anti-2A bills in the past. I've spoken with him and he's always been a very pro 2A kind of guy.

Veteran or not, f*** him for voting for this crap.... I really hope he loses his next election.

Yup, pretty much echoing my experience with John.
 
Maybe, and I lost a lot of respect for the guy. But he is a vet and is a strong supporter of recognition for those who served.
LOL. Come on, recognize them on one hand, take their rights with the other. Sounds like a great deal (sarc).

My girl served, her mom served, one of her brothers served, her other brother is in, and her daughter is in. She doesn't give a f*ck about being recognized, won't even mention she is a veteran for discounts. She did get a vet discount last week becuase someone saw the "veteran" on her DL and applied a discount.

All of them would rather get better attention at the VA than being recognized.

But maybe I just landed in the one family that doesn't care.

Both my late Father and late uncle served during WWII. They cared......

They were part of the "Greatest Generation" and returned as heroes. But there are some of later generations that returned from other wars that were treated like crap. I can understand why they wouldn't care.
 
I feel like she would have signed it already at this point.

What ever happened with the AG asking if the referendum was even "ok according to the MA constitution or not.". Guessing they got smoked on that answer. They know they're in a corner they don't want to be. I think they'd rather the law just get suspended for two years and win it at the poles in 26 vs opening a can of worms they don't want to deal with if they implement a late emergency order.
 
Not signing has some advantages for them, they can say they tried to pass a law. They will also have time to fix some stuff in the bill and prevent a bunch of rifles running around with evil features next month,
Or since everyone on this forum did such good research on the unintended consequence of the Bill. Is it possible they repeal and replace it in the nexts 2 years, fixing the language and making easier to hold up in a liberal court???

Who knows her thought process on this? If she wanted an emergency preamble, she could have put it on when she signed it. But she didn't and I think there were some practical reasons for avoiding that. So why make a flip-flop fool of herself by putting one on now? Just because of the potential delay from the petitions effort?

Hell, she can squash that delay anytime she feels like it. No need to rush.

If anything an EP on the date the bill goes into effect would keep the status quo of the bill and that can defended as “thats what your representative voted to do on your behalf”
