This Wednesday, Boston Police Commissioner Bill Evans went on Boston Public Radio to discuss how he wanted the anti-gun discretionary provision restored in Senate Bill 2265 so that he could strip law-abiding gun owners of their rights to possess rifles and shotguns in Boston. Completely out of touch with reality, Evans stated:
“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.”

Statements like this are exactly the reason the state legislature should not grant an issuing authority discretion in the issuance of FID cards. Personal bias is not enough to strip a law-abiding gun owner of their constitutional right to keep and bear arms, and it is critical that the discretionary provision remain out of the conference committee report.
Please continue making phone calls and sending e-mails, urging your state Senator and Representative to put pressure on leadership to retain the Senate changes made to S.2265 and to report a clean bill from the conference committee that does not infringe on your Second Amendment rights. Your action today could make all the difference.
Another Boston marxist asshole speaks! Is there anyone sane in Boston/Massachusetts government, or am I just asking a wishful thinking question?

Behold the banal face of evil.

“Boston goes back to the King along with a host of other North Eastern states.”
You might not like that. If we did sell it back to England, it would soon be overrun with Muslims from every region that was ever occupied by the British Empire (that whole Commonwealth thing;) Talk about unintended consequences! ;)
” Forcing homeowners from their homes at gunpoint was a travesty. “
It was NOT the Boston Police Department- Get your facts straight.
.
They were part of it.
“So, if there is no need to possess a rifle or a shotgun, is the inference that handguns are okay and acceptable?”
Nope. I listened to the Commishes comments. He now has “discression” over who may have a pistol. He wants to increase that to include who may have a rifle or shotgun as well.
He simply wants control over who is armed and who isn’t.
And he says it is all for our own good, because he knows best.
Cops. They just love to serve and protect.
I love living as far away from Boston—the most bigoted bunch of bad driving liberal a holes that inhabit this country.
Why isn’t this cop out doing drywall with his “brothers.”
Pig. Should be fire and stripped of his retirement. In this case, ‘pig’ fits.
They already have that control for handguns. Not enough for them. They want more power to disarm you.
So the commissioner has no guns at his house.
