For those that are interested or may want to attend, the next Gun Law Listening Tour date is 03/20 in Worcester. There is no central hub for these dates or locations, as this one was rescheduled from 03/14. This tour data involves a conversation about the intersection of gun violence and domestic violence.
If you're not familiar with the "tour," supposedly these events will be used when crafting further gun legislation in Massachusetts. The last tour date at Cape Cod Community College involved lots of talking, very little listening, and a panelist (subject matter expert) who left with the impression that she maybe didn't understand the purpose of the event. But there was a strong showing by the MA 2A community overall, henceforth the very little listening and lots of talking.
I've reached out to numerous members of the legislature, including Rep. Day and my State Senator and expressed the ethical considerations for using taxpayer dollars to fund a tour that doesn't announce its dates or locations in any reasonable amount of time.
