Lexington.

Where freedom was born, thrived for two hundred years then was killed by democrats.

If the Minutemen could see Lexington and the state of Massachusetts today they would disown them.

G_d forbid anyone should discharge a firearm without full advance governmental approval in the town of Lexington.

Going forward, we would love to participate in a discussion about real solutions to problems prevalent in today’s society.

I passed the point long ago where I even considered it possible for the left to have an open discussion on firearms or on anything else. They always, without exception, have a predetermined outcome in mind. They never have any interest in facts. The only question is whether they can get what they want in one jump or they will need several smaller steps. The only answer is to oppose all proposed infringements on our individual God-given right to keep and bear arms, and to work to repeal all existing infringements on that right, infringements that are all unconstitutional.

We cannot compromise with evil. When someone threatens to rape our daughters three times, it is not a win if we negotiate them down to "only" one rape.

When we hold an executive office or control a legislative body, our priority should be to roll back the current losses and move the ball back downfield toward the goal line that is the Constitution. Holding the line without further loss is never enough, not when they will continue pushing.

They want to restrict black rifles at the moment, but it will swing back to pistols again in a few years. We need to repeal the laws restricting silencers and then repeal other silly and harmful gun laws, just nibbling around the edges to remove the worst of the worst, and then to remove the worst of what is left.

“...already have their minds set on what the outcome of this discussion should be.”
___

The 2nd Amendment has already determined what the outcome of any discussion regarding gun control should be.

‘This was quickly changed to a non-binding resolution when Lexington’s board of selectmen and chief of police refused to support a ban of any sort.’

Any arsehole in any town meeting can stand up and make a nuisance of himself.

That doesn’t mean everyone/anyone else goes along, or that anything legally binding takes place.

For the record, firearms are STILL legal in Lexington.

So sorry. In Michigan we are looking to go back to constitutional hand gun carry. We have always retained the open carry right on all firearms.
