A new Massachusetts gun permit essay rule has Second Amendment supporters seeing red. Gun owners in the state must now write an essay which will be âgradedâ for approval by the police chief before a carry permit can be issued. A hefty firearms training price tag up to $1,100 will also be levied against those attempting to exercise their right to bear arms in the city of Lowell. Lowell, Massachusetts, is located about 35 miles north of Boston and is home to some 110,000 people. The gun essay law was the brainchild of Police Chief William Taylor and approved by the city council. Applicants for an âunrestrictedâ handgun permit have to detail in writing why they should be granted the Second Amendment credentials. Chief Bill Taylor has sole authority when it comes to deciding which gun permit essays make the grade.

The police chief and the city council members should be sent pictures of their families with the caption: “Your families think literacy tests are racist.”
Yep. As designed.
We have an excellent gun rights organization here (G.O.A.L., Gun Owners Action League) but as good as they are, it is an uphill battle.
It kills me to drive by that Minuteman statue in Concord, MA...how far we have fallen in both ideal and practice.
GMTA My essay would be a direct quote of the second amendment
Massachusetts is giving ‘The Onion’ a run for their money..
Elect a pro-2nd amendment, constitutional sheriff to run this commie police chief out of Lowell.
If there can be no literacy test for voting, there should be no literacy test for firearms ownership.
