Tonight, Westford will be considering zoning bans on firearm stores.

[Free2A]

Hey - sorry, very short notice.

Tonight, Westford will be considering zoning bans on firearm stores.

This is in response to the warehouse in Littleton, which was just sold and all tenants will be losing their space shortly.
One tenant decided to move his business to Westford, which prompted the introduction of the proposed ordinance.

A number of entities have already sounded the alarm:
- Stowe MA Republicans
- the Westford Sportsman’s club
- Kathy Lynch
- Westford Pro 2A

The meeting will be at town hall (55 Main Street) and starts at 1815 hrs.

Can one of the mods sticky this?

 

[Broc]

Fuuuuuu*ck.

BRO, my parents are moving out of Westfrod this weekend. I was going to go tonight to give then a hand packing a couple of heavy items but decided to take Friday off instead.

If I had known at least a day earlier, I would have changed my plans. One last Karen defeat before they leave.

I will ping them and see if they can go.

The current Mill tenants, from what I know, are allowed to stay as long as they accept
the new rent scheme (something like 3X increase).

FJB and FMH

Sticky for now. Please let me know after the meeting so that I can unstick it.

They'll use anything the think will work.

I wonder if it spreads fast enough itll actually do the opposite, because it definitely seems like an attack on 2a

When there are no local FFLs left, it’s over.

Look to the North. The North remembers.

If its due to an abrupt change in zoning across the state I think youd have a court case though? Im not a lawyer

 

[Mtn_Guy]

Wasnt there a National law suit someplace that FFLs are integral to commerce and 2A? Not gonna help in local instances such as this but hopefully may change the legal landscape in the future.

It won’t. It’s for the CHILDREN. The Karen’s love this stuff and do go to a gun store anyways.

 

[walter62]

the same children they indoctrinate and mutilate to further their own warped agenda

There's no "seems like" about it.

It IS a direct attack on 2A and is therefore completely illegal.

Why stop with suspending the second amendment? Shouldn't the nineteenth amendment also be on the chopping block? Face facts--it is only since women were allowed to vote that extra-killy guns were invented, oceans started drowning big cities (well, not yet, but they WILL), animals started going extinct, and carbon dioxide started killing us all. There is a definite link between the second and nineteenth amendments that should not be ignored any longer.

Jesus Christ. This zoning bullshit is spreading like cancer.

Isn't there something about "Restraint of trade". Like the Sherman Act:

The Antitrust Laws

 

[Uzi2]

When there are no local FFLs left, it’s over.

If you stick around long enough to see that happen, you're waaaaaaaaaay behind the moving out of Massachusetts curve.

Jesus Christ. This zoning bullshit is spreading like cancer.

Same happens with towns going after clubs and there is always that group of idiots that thinks "not happening in my club so I don't care".

By the time they start caring it is too late.

This.........but eventually there will be enough Karen's to ruin some of these towns even.

Plan is to be long gone by then.....

If you ever want a visiting Cantabridgian to help you make some noise, just lemme know.

The fellow who caused a great deal of problems for the Wayland Rod & Gun Club was also from Cambridge. Fortunately, he went 0-for-whatever.

There will be plenty of "local FFLs" leftover, just not necessarily the ones you and I would want to shop at.

I heard (from a MA FFL) that the state is adding a bunch of stuff to their dealer inspection requirements which will make it difficult for dealers to remain.
Said it is in the pipeline and essentially a seminar on how to shut down your local gun shop.

Might be worthy of another thread but just something I thought of after seeing the last few posts above^^

They should do what Kittery Trading Post Does. Actual Store could be in NH with a small location
just to transfer sales in Mass. Not much for the Po-Po to look at doing it this way.
