    Massachusetts Lawmakers Crafting Unprecedented State Powers Into New Gun Control Bill

    June 26, 2014 by Ben Bullard
    THINKSTOCK

    A bill that could ban private gun sales, set a high threshold of qualification for owning a gun and grant law enforcement broad discretion in issuing permits even for long guns is making its way through the committee process of the Massachusetts House of Representatives.
    The bill, HB 4121, would place a host of new hurdles in the path of potential gun owners in a State that’s not known for its lawmakers’ restraint in leaving the 2nd Amendment as it is. Gun owners both inside the State, as well as those throughout the Nation concerned about the general erosion of the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms, are calling the measure extreme and dangerous.
    “This egregious bill would empower police chiefs with discretion in licensing owners for shotguns and rifles, ban the private sale of firearms except through a licensed gun dealer, and create new firearm possession qualifications that could ban firearm ownership for thousands of hunters and gun enthusiasts across the Commonwealth,” warns the National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA):
    HB 4121 is dangerous legislation that seeks to further strip away your Second Amendment rights in Massachusetts. As anyone who has gone through the process to legally obtain a firearm in Massachusetts knows, there is no dearth of existing state laws that regulate the sale, purchase and transfer of firearms. State legislators on Beacon Hill should be repealing gun control laws, NOT enacting more to further restrict your Second Amendment rights.
    The NRA-ILA is imploring Massachusetts residents to contact their State representatives and “urge them to vote against this dangerous anti-gun bill.” Even law enforcement within the State has come out against the bill; the Massachusetts Coalition of Police (MASS C.O.P.) — the State’s largest law enforcement union — has issued an official statement opposing the gun grab:
    The Massachusetts Coalition of Police submitted written testimony to the Joint Committee on Public Safety and Homeland Security in opposition of House Bill 4121 An Act Relative to the Reduction of Gun Violence. Our reasoning is that we do not agree with the change in what can disqualify you for a license to carry a firearm in this bill. In the current legislation, if you are convicted of a misdemeanor that carries a punishment of two years or more, you are disqualified. In this bill it reduces that time to one year. This could negatively impact some of our members who had previously qualified and had no issues in the past. In some cases it could potentially terminate employment. This is the one issue within the bill that has an effect on our membership’s employment. There may be other issues that you do not agree with, or agree with in the bill. In any case, you should call your local State Representative and let them know that you are not in favor of this bill.
    The Massachusetts Gun Owners Action League (GOAL) is keeping a running tab on the bill as it moves through the Legislature (it’s currently before the House Ways and Means committee); you can view its progress and find legislative contact information here.

    300 Thousand Connecticut Gun Owners Face Jail Time Under New Law

    TownHall.com:

    The scene above isn't from a foreign country. It's happening right here in America.
    Law-abiding gun owners in Connecticut were recently forced to line up and register their firearms with the state government by January 1 of this year.
    Now, citizens who either missed the deadline, or simply refused to submit to the blatantly unconstitutional law, are facing felony charges and up to five years in prison.
    In fact, anti-gun groups and their allies in the state media are outright campaigning for authorities to "use the background check database" to round up an estimated 300,000 gun owners, fine them $5,000, and put them behind bars.
    "If this can happen anywhere in America, it can happen everywhere," warns Chris Cox, Executive Director of the National Rifle Association's Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA).
    "And right now, Barack Obama and his gun control allies in Congress are plotting new ways to bring Connecticut's freedom-crushing policies to every corner of America."

    REBELLION: Hundreds of Thousands of Gun Owners Defy “Registration” in Connecticut
    http://conservativetribune.com/conne...-registration/
    Do you support their stand for the 2nd Amendment?



    REBELLION: Hundreds of Thousands of Gun Owners Defy “Registration” in Connecticut


    All across the country, individuals, states, and law enforcement officers are openly rebelling against unconstitutional gun control laws.
    The push for gun control measures has increased in recent years in the wake of horrific crimes involving high-powered assault rifles, including the Aurora, Colorado shooting and the massacre in Newton, Connecticut.
    The state of Connecticut responded by passing a law last year that required gun owners to register any military-style weapon with the state government, dramatically expanding the category of what constitutes a “military-style” weapon.

    The registration requirement now includes semiautomatic firearms with any military characteristic, such as a pistol grip. But law-abiding citizens of the state are rebelling against the law and refusing to comply.
    The Courant writes:
    Bythe end of 2013, state police hadreceived 47,916 applications for assault weapons certificates, Lt. Paul Vance said. An additional2,100 that were incomplete could still come in. That 50,000 figure could be as little as 15 percent of the rifles classified as assault weapons owned by Connecticut residents, according to estimates by people in the industry, including the Newtown-based National Shooting Sports Foundation.
    No one has anything close to definitive figures, but the most conservative estimates place the number of unregistered assault weapons well above 50,000, and perhaps as high as 350,000. And that means as of Jan. 1, Connecticut has very likely created tens of thousands of newly minted criminals — perhaps 100,000 people, almost certainly at least 20,000 — who have broken no other laws.
    By owning unregistered guns defined as assault weapons, all of them are committing Class D felonies.
    Making felons out of law-abiding gun owners isn’t permitted by the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment also doesn’t permit the state to get to put your name on a list just for exercising your right to bear arms.
    Gun registries are one step further down a slippery slope to making gun ownership as illegal as possible.
    It makes no sense to say that registries allow police to keep tabs on potentially violent gun owners, because those are the very people who won’t comply with registration. However, even law-abiding citizens are defending their liberty the way they see fit and opting to rebel.
    Sometimes, you’ve got to resort to civil disobedience to see justice done and defend your rights. What do you think? Is this one of those times where rebellion is appropriate? Let us know by sharing this article on Facebook and Twitter.

    Dr Death Running for Governor: Wants Your Guns

    By Steven Ahle on July 25, 2014 in Elections, Gun control, Healthcare

    Donald Berwick, better known as Dr Death for his work in setting up the British government run healthcare system, is running for governor of Massachusetts with the platform of a wholesale confiscation of guns. Berwick, a proponent of healthcare rationing left large footprints in Great Britain”s healthcare system, that includes rationing.
    Berwick was also a recess appointment of Obama’s. He was placed in charge of Medicaid and Medicare. His nomination was so odious that the democrats refused to bring his name up for confirmation. Obama bucked his own party and named Berwick as a recess appointment. The same man who considered hip and knee replacement as elective operations, meaning Medicare won’t pay for them. On the other hand, he explored making sex change operations for seniors as “necessary”.
    After he left the Obama administration, he took a job with Soros sponsored Center for American Progress.
    Fortunately, his recess appointment ran out before he could pull it off. He resigned because he would have been lucky to get more than a dozen votes in a confirmation hearing. Now, he wants to be governor. He won’t make it. There are no recess appointments for governor. Someone would actually have to approve of Dr Death in order for him to take office.
    Having helped destroy healthcare in two countries, he now sets his sights on guns. He wants a total ban on what he calls assault weapons:
    “Weapons of war have no place on our streets. I oppose automatic weapons and favor the strictest possible restrictions on semi-automatic and high magazine weapons.”
    “Many of the illegal guns in Massachusetts come across state lines from New Hampshire, New York and Vermont. I will be a relentless advocate for comprehensive national gun safety laws, and I will work with neighboring governors to crack down on interstate gun commerce.”
    “Giving increased discretion for our police chiefs to bar dangerous individuals from obtaining rifles and shotguns makes sense. Despite the best efforts of our dedicated law enforcement personnel, we face an epidemic of gun violence in our Commonwealth. This provision will give law enforcement a valuable tool in preventing violence and will save lives in Massachusetts.”
    The law he is speaking about giving sheriff’s discretion to withhold guns from individuals is selective at best and does not involve proving anything in a court of law. He also wants a stringent gun registration that’s permanent.
    In 2008, he defended the British healthcare system he helped create:
    “Any health care funding plan that is just, equitable, civilized and humane must—must—redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer and the less fortunate. Excellent health care is by definition redistributional. Britain, you chose well.”
    “We make those decisions all the time. The decision is not whether or not we will ration care—the decision is whether we will ration with our eyes open.”
    For his work, the British citizens rewarded him with a nickname, Dr Death. That says it all.

    July 27, 2014

    “Police chiefs rally for gun safety at the State House,” WWLP-22News (“Working for You”) “reported” Tuesday.
    “Reported” was put in quotation marks, because this thinly-disguised paean to state control begins with the biggest gun-grabber lie of all, that citizen disarmament provides safety, immediately followed by their lie du jour, that “There have been 74 school shootings since Sandy Hook,” a bit of manipulation and deception exposed for what it is by journalist Charles C. Johnson.
    “The unusual public criticism by police chiefs comes after the Senate last week voted to remove a House provision giving chiefs discretion to deny firearms identification cards, required to buy shotguns and rifles, to people they deem unsuitable,” The Boston Globe explained. “They now have that discretion over licenses to carry handguns.”
    Unsurprisingly, John Rosenthal of Stop Handgun Violence, a “progressive” elitist-founded and funded propaganda group, accused the Senate of “placat[ing] the NRA instead of supporting law enforcement.” Longtime gun rights advocates will recall him as the founder of the failed Astroturf American Hunters and Shooters Association divide and conquer (via a fraudulent “middle ground”) gambit. Also unsurprising is that The Globe would give a multi-millionaire developer, who, despite his largesse and continued free mass media exposure, has only attracted (under) 3,400 Facebook “likes” on a page that’s been around since 2010. That in turn makes a mockery of Rosenthal’s refuted-by-reality claim that his pet nonprofit has “become [a] national model... for successful campaigns against gun violence...”
    Had only the Senate listened to Rosenthal and to the top cops. After all, what’s to fear from what doctrinaire gun-grabbers call “reasonable, commonsense solutions to gun violence”? Besides, a spokesman assures us there’s no need for concern.
    Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association president Erik Blake said at the press conference that the provision giving police added discretion on firearms identification cards is ‘not about being capricious or arbitrary or taking away people’s rights,’” the Globe report continued.
    That’s one side of the mouth talking. The other side shows what kind of “discretion” the chiefs are demanding.
    “Having long guns--rifles and shotguns--especially here in the city of Boston, I think we should have, as the local authority, some say in the matter,” Boston Police Commissioner William Evans told Boston Public Radio (WGBH) in a July 23 interview. “For the most part, nobody in the city needs a shotgun. Nobody needs a rifle.”
    Doesn’t that sound reasonable and commonsense to you, as opposed to capricious and arbitrary? It does to sly prevaricators in the Massachusetts Senate, dutifully parroted by “real reporters,” offering what they characterize as a “compromise.”
    “We are trying to find middle ground,” Michael Barrett, a Lexington Democrat (naturally), who evidently does not recognize the absurd disconnect with his district’s heritage, offered (or that "middle ground" is exactly what Rosenthal said AHSA was offering). “We aren’t opposed on the Senate side to giving chiefs this flexibility but we want to see the legitimate rights of gun owners respected.”
    In fairness, Evans certainly sounds flexible, as long as he gets to be the one who decides which rights are legitimate and respectable. Case in point, when he was selected to become a permanent bludgeoning tool for the power elites following the Boston Marathon bombings, he had this to say about his dismantling of the Occupy Boston encampment in 2011.
    “Our motto is to kill them with kindness,” Evans declared.
    What he intends to kill gun owners who defy him with -- after he gets that flexibility he seeks -- remains to be seen.

    Police Commissioner: ‘I Want To Have Discretion Over’ Who Can Have Guns In Boston

    July 30, 2014 by Ben Bullard

    SPECIAL
    Boston Police Commissioner William Evans wants the power to determine who in his city can own a long gun.

    Boston Police Commissioner William Evans took advantage of his time before the city’s public radio audience last week to explain his support for a State legislative measure that would allow local police to decide who can or cannot be licensed to own long guns. As his quoted remarks make clear, it all boils down to a simple feature: control.
    The Democratic-tilted State Senate voted 28-10 last week to strip language in a gun bill already approved by the House that would have granted local police forces the discretionary power to determine who can obtain long guns. It’s a power local police already have over those who choose to inform the State of their desire to obtain a handgun.
    Police issue firearms identification cards (FIDs) to people who’ve passed a background check. In the case of handguns, Massachusetts law currently allows local police to deny a carry permit to someone who’s been issued an FID — if the police indicate a concern for how that person might use the gun. The Senate rejected a provision that would have included long guns in the police dragnet.
    Evans sat for a phone interview last Wednesday with two sympathetic broadcasters from public radio juggernaut WGBH, expressing his disappointment with the Senate’s decision and urging legislators to reconsider:
    A lot of times we know background information on people that, you know, whether they’ve been involved in domestic incidents or, you know, some mental issues, you know based on the totality of circumstances sometimes we can say ‘deny’ — and if we don’t get this legislation in, you know, people can go down and we have no say in them getting an FID card.
    … A lot of people do not have criminal records, obviously, but there’s other issues going on in their lives that we’re aware of, and based on the knowledge we have, I think we should be able to determine the suitability of who should possess a gun, especially here in the city.
    … There has to be restrictions because people should have a legitimate reason for possessing them.
    … For the most part, nobody in the city needs a shotgun; nobody needs a rifle, and I don’t know a lot of people who are into hunting who — being lifelong residents — would actually want that who lives in the city, but, especially here in the city I want to have discretion over who’s getting any type of gun, because public safety is my main concern and, as you know, it’s an uphill battle taking as many guns off the street right now without pumping more into the system.
    After the Massachusetts Senate stripped the language, Democratic Governor Deval Patrick aligned with Evans and the other police chiefs pushing for the expansion of police powers over FID licensing to include long guns. “I side with the police chiefs who were here yesterday and the law-enforcement officials, that the House version is the stronger of the two,’’ he said the day after a gun control rally at Beacon Hill.
