Massachusetts: Governor Launches an Assault on the
Second Amendment
Governor Deval
Patrick (D) has announced a gun
control plan that
is as affront to law-abiding gun owners, sportsmen and Second Amendment
supporters in Massachusetts. The Bay State already has the third most
restrictive gun control laws in the entire country, yet Governor Patrick’s far
reaching proposal is as an attempt to further disenfranchise law-abiding gun
owners.
Some of the most onerous aspects of
Governor Patrick’s proposal include:
- Restricting certain types of ammunition
- Limiting the number of firearms sales by licensed dealers to not more than one per licensed individual per month
- Further restrict private sales, even between friends and family members
Arbitrary and unconstitutional legislation will only
victimize law-abiding citizens, leaving them vulnerable to violent and/or insane
criminals who will never comply with state gun control laws.
Dozens of misguided anti-gun bills have already been
proposed that will only serve to penalize law-abiding citizens in
Massachusetts. In addition to the proposal put forward by Governor Patrick,
there has already been serious discussion by members of the Massachusetts
General Court to restrict magazine capacity, impose further bans on certain
semi-automatic rifles, establish one-gun-a-month restrictions, enact mandatory
storage and insurance requirements, impose additional excise taxes on firearms
and ammunition, and much more.
If you thought it could not get worse in Massachusetts,
you were wrong. The battle to protect our gun rights that lies before us in
this legislative session is unlike any one we have ever seen. Please contact
your state legislators and Governor Patrick, and encourage them to stand up for
freedom and protect your Right to Keep and Bear Arms this legislative
session.
