Lefties consider violent crime to be a legitimate career path, and armed victims to be an OSHA violation.
Are these people subject to citizen arrest? Seems like harassment at best.
They tried this crap when I lived in California years ago.
City ordinances at that time were struck down by the courts who said only the state government could make such laws, not cities, municipalities or county governments.
Don’t know if the same situation would apply to the People’s Republic of Massachusetts.
I notice that there is no exemption for law enforcement. It says “ANYONE” so if a police officer carries their weapon into a building owned by the City, or walks on the sidewalk, or if the police department has any AR-15’s with large capacity magazines, then the individual police office would have to be fined and the city would have to fine itself because it owns all the weapons.
Wasting their time.
Expect more of this as a chance of eliminating rights through the US Supreme Ct becomes a possibility. These people believe they transformed the US into a socialist state over the past decades and enjoy seeing how far they can go with the next infringements. They believe they need to formalize the removal of the remainder of our rights and are confident they will control everything in time.
What kind of idiots live in that town?
The British redcoats can have MA back. The people there no longer value what their forebears bought with blood.

FILE FORMAL CRIMINAL CHARGES against All Involved and then FILE Federal Lawsuit for Damages.
Well, this is my town. I guess I know what I am doing on May 10th.
Wow, the police are going to have to pay a lot of money from this.

Anyone, especially politicians, who actively engage in actions to restrict or take away constitutional rights, are seditionists. They need to be arrested, charged with treason and sent to prison.
“Citizen Petition To see if the Town will vote to accept a bylaw for gun control on town property that reads, whoever possesses a firearm, rifle, or shotgun in any building owned by the Town, or on recreation area, conservation area, or other grounds owned by the Town, shall pay a fine of $300. “
Sounds like a ‘gun-free zone’. Easy pickings for the armed criminals from Springfield.
FYI:
Longmeadow is a very wealthy suburb of Springfield, which is a complete craphole with shootings/killings weekly.
