"From the state that once lit the fire of freedom, now douses the flame with totalitarianism."

If I remember correct the Mass State House has a flint lock musket on display and they put a trigger lock on it.

I am not freakin' kidding.

Incredible! And moronic!

I’m a bit behind on this, but I recall that the local Minutemen who do yearly July 4th parade must ‘unload’ their black powder muskets before entering one town.

I grew up in Mass, lived in Sudbury for many years and had “some” association w/Collins Fdn.

Used to be proud to say that I lived in MA.

Many historical markers to drive by on the way to work, even small ones (such and such canon was taken this way, Boston Post Rd, Minuteman Statue etc).

Most people only think of Boston in the history, but many more was in ‘suburbs” which became the bedroom towns.

Natick was a big supplier of shoes and BASEBALLS (and Doug Flutie)

So much history is being lost
