Insanity personified. That is why zero vacations here.

And this is the state that, back in 1775, had patriots at Lexington and Concord. Massachusetts committed suicide when it became a firmly-entrenched Democrat state.

the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

And yet, here we are. :-(

This is a flagrant violation of the Second Amendment. Every one of these bastards need to be arrested and their asses thrown in prison where they belong.

Please change “Chief” in title to “Chiefs”. Thx

Anyone who remains in MA deserves what happens when they cannot defend themselves.

"At that time Evans also said, "For the most part, nobody in [Boston] needs a shotgun. Nobody needs a rifle."

What? I think that each individual should make that decision. Wow what a arrogant SOB

[Pollster1]

The strongest guarantee in the Bill of Rights covers the Second Amendment: “shall not be infringed”. That isn’t just a restriction at the federal level, “Congress shall make no law”, it’s an absolute. This new rule has no legitimacy.

I miss the rule of law.

For "The sole purpose of hunting down and killing people"

“Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts ,” Romney said. “These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense. They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people.”

Massacussetts deserves the dictators they elect.

[bikerman]

Bring out the tar and feathers for these so called lawmakers or a rope.

[Vendome]

So 200+ years hence and the king finally gets control over guns?

The police chief says essentially no one needs a shotgun or long gun.

Really mthrfkr?

You gonna decide what cars I dont need?

What size my home ought to be or how many I should be able to lawfully own?

I will never live in your POS state.

California pulls this, I can guarantee you I’ll leave.

Now the citizen has no means of self defense nor the ability to threaten, by force, the bumbling bureaucrats, who seek to undermine the constitution and make fellow citizens bow and pay fealty to tyrants.

FOAD....

Patently Unconstitutional and will be overturned.

We call this an ‘SS Officer’.

I'm a bit confused. The Gun Owners Action League says the bill Breitbart described on July 25 was altered quite a bit in the past week. It says that chiefs have to go to court to deny a permit (not that courts are any great defense any more).

I've just decided that I'm gonna challenge this.Although I've had a *completely* clean record for my *entire* life I live in a truly Maoist town whose police chief has a reputation for holding the 2nd Amendment in contempt.As a result my application will surely be denied.Then it's off to the races if I can find a way to fund this (I'm far from rich).

Question: When the police chief "allows" someone to have a gun, and that person commits a murder with the gun, will the police chief now be an accessory to murder?

After all, he has the authority to grant & deny.

[Still Thinking]

House Speaker Robert DeLeo (D) commented on the law: "We seek not to be the safest state in the nation but strive to make our communities the safest in the world."

Apparently, the chief danger is that of tyranny. Someone needs to do something about that.
