As supporters of HD 4420 try to rally their fellow lawmakers behind a plan to hurriedly enact the sweeping gun control bill into law before the end of the month, Massachusetts’ Gun Owners Action League has released a detailed response to what its labeled the “Lawful Citizens Imprisonment Act.”
In a sign of just how terrible this legislation truly is, GOAL’s markup of the bill stretches to nine pages, and the group acknowledges at the outset that it “by no means represents the entirety of the concerns of Gun Owners’ Action League or the Second Amendment community,” and is instead “simply a response to the incredibly vague and dishonest ‘summary’ provided to the legislature by leadership.” I’d encourage you to read the entire takedown by GOAL here, because its far too long to quote in its entirety, but I do want to highlight a few specific issues raised by GOAL, starting with the bill’s new definition of “safe storage”.

Thus leaving them helpless from abuses by the criminals or the State (actually one and the same).
Well, that's their goal!!
Unarmed Massachusetts, eh? Well criminals aren’t stupid.
This is an amazingly bad law, even for the people’s republic of Massachusetts.
Basically the gun-grabber’s wish list, handily compiled in a single document.

***Unarmed Massachusetts,***
Well, that was the British goal in 1775. Didn’t work then but the elites are trying again?
