What we need to consider is that some in the government (especially the Democratic party) are using an encroachment strategy that attempts to take away the rights of the people little by little. Though (some) lawmakers may support the second amendment or any other amendment as a whole, they (or the party) may introduce limitations, fees, taxes, and regulations that will restrict the activity giving the impression that there is support. Unfortunately, if the gun owner is regulated to the extent that he or she can only fire the weapon on a Sunday from 12.00 to 1.00 pm in front of a government employee, then the rights of the owner are basically stripped. It is in my opinion that there are too many fees, restrictions, regulations and other documentation hurdles that must be removed, reduced and abolished.
We must act in accordance to the constitution. As a candidate for State Representative in the Fifth Worcester District, I fully support responsible gun owners and their right to own, buy, sell, and any responsible activity they may have. I also fully support all parts of the constitution. Government must respect the people. The people must be represented fully. And, finally, the size of government and its reach must be reduced so the freedoms of the citizens are enhanced. I will fight to reduce and abolish the encroachment that has occurred if elected this November 2nd.
Power to the people!
