If all else fails, we need to have a class action against the commonwealth, current and pass congress men, AG, etc for allowing these illegal weapon to be sold thus putting all of us in harms way. Then the mfgs for marking these as compliant when according to the AG they new they were not! How above $1m per gun that was allowed to be sold illegally and $1m for selling a known illegal product.
. As Speaker, DeLeo controls what bills come to the floor. If he was on stage with Healey, then he supports this crap.
I have heard it is actually a tougher feat in the Senate. Agree this really had no chance, but we should ask our reps and senators to support it.
An endorsement from Baker would be nice as well...

He has already chosen sides on this issue. And it WILL be the END of his political career. Not sure if he knows that yet or not.
She didn't just pull July 20th out of a hat. She knew many on our side would be at the RNC and what the schedule of the House was.
This was a hatchet job. She is probably in Philly right now for the DNC and unable to take calls.
Our enemy is intelligent, ruthless, unwavering and dauntless. Don't forget that.
Don't forget calculating.
Don't be negative, this shows positive thinking. I will be drafting emails later. Enough of the negative "no chance in hell" bs
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take

If this is to be true, we'll need to put the Republican organizations on notice that we won't donate a dime in support of his reelection bid, and that noise has to be made now. They would need to float a different republican candidate to get any money.He has already chosen sides on this issue. And it WILL be the END of his political career.

This isn't going away.
We're not going away.
The anger is only going to grow.
Right now, I think the only people who realize they're newly minted felons are AR or AK owners.
Wait til all those Fudds who just own 10/22s or trap guns realize they're felons too.

Resident NES MA politic wonks:
Does this have a snowballs chance in hell of even making it to a vote?
This has zero chance of passing, unfortunately.
The problem isnt the expectation, its the advertising of the expectation. If the legislators know that people aren't expecting them to do anything, then they probably won't. We need to demand AND expect changes.I agree but having unrealistic expectations is counterproductive to the cause.

Had to take a break away from NES for a while. Can't take all the negativity.
Keep the pressure up and let's see where this goes. There's a shit load of D voters that are also gun enthusiast.
Save the doom and gloom till after the fight.
This is good, but it doesn't actually fix the problem at hand. Even if the AGO is stripped of her power, Pandora is out of the box as far as her interpretation goes. The only thing that can shield us from 131M is repealing or changing 131M.
I don't think it will. Most people in MA are anti-gun.

With this new shooting in Florida it will make it tougher.
Though in theory in a non bizarro world, it should make it easier.
