A Google alert flagged this "Guns in the Realm of God" event in Topsfield, so here's a good reminder to keep an eye on the events in your town and to participate as politely as possible. The Federal elections are done but with springtime town meeting agendas are being lined up already, now is a good time to try to head off the nonsense we saw last year with local initiatives to ban or restrict firearms.
I tripped over one in my own town recently, fortunately the local police force was represented and took a pro-2A stance. The group at that event decided their efforts to reduce violence could be better spent on helping people find jobs, avoid addiction and otherwise become positively integrated into the community.
This one looks like it was preordained to go another way, but please watch your towns (and churches and etc) so we can all have a quiet spring.
==========
"So far, gun violence has not become an issue in the tri-towns, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't care about it, or that it won't happen here.
That's why events like "Guns in the Realm of God," which took place in Topsfield last weekend, are critical."
