Attorney General Reilly: Above the Law

Massachusetts Gun Owners | 1/3/04

[pabianice]

We all know that Massachusetts Attorney General Reilly --darling of the Liberals -- is a foaming-at-the-mouth gun-grabber, but he is now outdoing even himself, clearly violating the law, and laughing at us while he does it. Wait until you hear this one.

Massachusetts has the dismal distinction of leading the victim disarmament movement, and of punishing the law-abiding while it releases career sex offenders into the population to rape and kill again. In 1998, Massachusetts passed the most vicious anti-gun laws in the country, under which it has become impossible for tens of thousands of law-abiding citizens to own a firearm. Reilly then unilaterally declared guns "unsafe consumer products" and banned the sale of almost all handguns and many rifles in the state. To this day, he refuses to tell a buyer what gun His Excellency permits to be sold in Massachusetts. Literally, you have to buy a gun and then see if he comes after you for a jail term or fine. Pure insanity. The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court -- the same one that just ruled that Massachusetts must marry gay couples -- has blessed Reilly's campaign. The Kerry Liberals just chortle with glee.

Well, not one to let either grass or freedom grow under his feet, Reilly has struck again. He has sent letter to the country's ammunition component sellers telling them that if they send any ammunition components or loading equipment to Massachusetts, he will send them to jail and break them financially. When Al Copone did this it was called "organized crime." When Tom Reilly does this, it is called "for the children" and the Massachusetts Liberals celebrate with a wine and cheese party. You see, to Liberals, everyone must be allowed to do whatever they want ... unless Liberals disagree with it. Then, it must be banned. So now they are going after guns by making it unlawful to sell loading components. In the works is an order making it unlawful to send manufactured ammo to Massachusetts. And that will be it.

We've had this before. It was called the Clinton Nightmare: "Stroke of the pen; rule of the land. Cool!" And its coming to a state near you. Unilateral fiat by the state's attorney general. Cool.

I heard of that place.......The Peoples Republic of Massachusettstan.

[SandRat]

So,....? Move out of the first Communist State Taxachusetts and leave all the LIBERALS, LIBERAL agendas, all the DEMORAT ties behind. Move west, stop before you get to Kalifornya Arnold still has a lot of work to do to clean that mess up, and be a hard core conservative.

[kcamtx]

Don't tell them to move west. Tell them to get off their ass and vote. They voted him into office..they can vote him out. But then .......I guess that would be politically incorrect.

[Lyndal]

Why not get a campaign started to get all gun and ammo manufacturers to stop sending anything to Mass? When the police run out of guns and ammo, maybe they will change their minds.

Probably would be a prudent thing for the manufacturers to do anyway. Don't want him going after them for distributing the nasty old assault rifles and shotguns to anyone, even a policeman

[SandRat]

Sometimes when you can't get the jackass to move you either have to walk off and leave it or keep beating it with a stick.

The later seldom works the way you want it to. If you keep beating the jackass all the jackass does is:

1)remain on it's hindquarters or
2)get up and give you two hind hoofs in the mouth.

It's far better to walk off and leave the jackass. It'll eventually figure out that whatever that was that gives it carrots and apples is not around anymore and go in search of whatever that was.

Why not start a campaign to cross that bridge from tyranny to liberty......but be careful who you cross that bridge with.

Massachusetts is a place I visited once. I was interested in doing the historical tours around Boston. Unfortunately, they were doing something called the "Big Dig". The noise was deafening in my 17th floor hotel room--and seemed to follow wherever you went. Taking a cab was an interesting experience--street closures that the cab drivers didn't know about kept popping up, making a 10 minute cab ride last 30-40 minutes.

Needless to say, I only stayed 3 of the 10 days I planned to stay--and have no desire to ever go back.

Hearing about this attorney general is enough to make one sick. The whole damn state must be populated by sheep, waiting for the slaughter. (With apologies to freepers who are being held captive there.)

If you spend your life kissing the ass of a jackass.....a hoof in the mouth is all you deserve.

At times, it becomes necessary to move the jackass, as it has become an obstruction to everyone else.

Is it time?

[kcamtx]

You will never get the attention of a jackass by beating him with a stick. You hit him between the eyes with a post. If he doesn't get the message.....you shoot the SOB and get another jackass that understands who is in control.

I'm always amazed to find that any conservative is left in Mass. Why on earth would anyone stay there? It's really not that hard to move and start over. In fact it can be a great adventure. Expands one's perspective. I believe that the liberals of Mass should be allowed to live with the consequences of their liberal policies. JMHO.

Luckily, Massachesetts is a small state (in square miles) so anyone in Massachusetts can get from his or her home to another state without driving some great distance. I bought my reloading supplies (and replenish them) without anyone even asking me my name. As to buying the actual firearms, I suspect you will need to take up some sort of residence in another state.

I live in Minnesota, so a drive here to buy the weapons is likely not in the cards. However, there is hope, even in Massachusetts. It took 3 or 4 years of letter writing and calls, and a good deal of work from a couple of women legislators to get more reasonable gun laws passed in Minnesota. Even then it required all the pieces (including the election of Tim Pawlenty) to get it all put together. I'm not sure what the sentiment is for such changes in your state. With luck, your aspiring despot might be deposed. We still have enough people of that ilk in office that we get daily predictions of death and destruction because of our new more reasonable gun law.

Here's a surprise. Despite the gloomy predictions, we haven't had any death and destruction, and it's been seven months. I suppose Minnesota citizens are just more mature and "law abiding" that your average gun slinger in Massachusetts. I'm sure that's what Reilly thinks. Wait, sorry, liberals are incapable of thought. It gets in the way.

[kcamtx]

If they won't stand and fight in their own state.....they won't stand and fight in any other state. "They deserve neither liberty or safety."

[taxcontrol]

Borrow a page from the Liberal play book - sue.

I'm sure there are a whole plethora of reasons to sue this guy and the state. Sue Sue Sue again and again and again. Make this guy so busy defending lawsuits that he has no time to do STUPID stuff like this.

[little jeremiah]

I amend that to: MOVE to California - we need more rock solid conservatives - the tide is changing, be part of a renewed conservative California!

(TGIDLIM- Thank God I Don't Live In Massachusetts!)

So, the RULERS of Minnasota were defeated and the common peasants are carrying guns and there is no massive death and destruction. AMAZING!!!!!!!! It turned out that way down here in Texas too. But then most of us never stopped carrying even when we were told to.

[stevem]

...the common peasants are carrying guns and there is no massive death and destruction. AMAZING!!!!!!!! It turned out that way down here in Texas too.

It's kind of interesting. There are now something like 35 states that have some kind of "concealed carry" law on the books. In not a single one of these states has there been the slightest problem because of the law. To the contrary, there is significant evidence that passage of these laws has caused reduced violent crime in many venues. Our law took effect, I think May 1, 2003.

Yet liberals in states that don't have such laws constantly beat the mayhem drum to prevent such laws from being newly enacted in any of the remaining states.

They are struggling with this in Wisconsin today. The maroons in Wisconsin took the Minnesota liberal playbook and are publically reading it word for word. If stupidity id bliss, liberals must be the happiest people ever to walk the face of the earth.

The reason I chose the word "jackass" is that it is the DemoRATS party symbol.

My Grandfather bless his dear departed soul, said that there had to be subliminal reason why a Jackass was chosen to be the DemoRATS party symbol.
