Summary of Select Board Meeting: Anti 2A By Law
Dear Friends,
Congratulations on a strong showing at the Select Board meeting last night. That was the first “salvo” in what is sure to be a protracted battle regarding Second Amendment rights in Westford yet again. You were all calm, respectful, and eloquent. Thank you.
It will be instructive to watch, when it becomes available, the video from that meeting. At the start of the By-Law discussion, it was made clear by the Town Planner that the Select Board had asked him to draft a Firearms Business By-Law, and present it to the Planning Board.
By the time we 2A supports were done, the Select Board was marching to a different tune. At the end, it suddenly ‘wasn’t up to them to tell the Planning Board what to do',’ and even when the Town Planner asked if he should present the draft By-Law to the Planning Board, the reaction was ‘well, we don’t want to tell them how to do their job. They may want to talk about it before they consider a By-Law'.’
This is a classic example of politicians stepping into something smelly, and then deeply regretting it.
The battle will now shirt to the Planning Board. Westford Pro 2A will be watching the Agenda’s carefully. When they start posting Firearms discussions of any kind, we all need to show up in FORCE, and make it clear, Firearms are not to be regulated different than any other lawful business.
