MASSACHUSETTS Declaration of Rights, Article 17

The people have a right to keep and bear arms for the common defense. And as, in time of peace, armies are dangerous to liberty, they ought not to be maintained without the consent of the legislature; and the military shall always be held in an exact subordination to the civil authority, and be governed by it.

Everyone who is eligible should buy a gun and learn how to use it. This would protect us against criminals, terrorists,and socialists (same as Democrats).

Under this bill, all private owners of handguns would have to register each handgun with the police and have a separate $ 250,000 liability insurance policy on each handgun or have that handgun confiscated (insurance professionals: care to estimate the cost of such a policy to the holder?). Each such insurance policy must cover the potential theft and unlawful use of the gun. If the policy is inadequate to cover any subsequent court judgment against the lawful gunowner, he will be thrown in jail for five years for each offense.

If the British had used such exquisite legal tactics on the colonials, they never would have had a Revolution problem.

The majority of the current inhabitants of Taxachusetts are Government "punks" who wear their underwear backwards...

This would require several amendments to enact this, otherwise it will be up before the SCOM, and possibly the SCOTUS.

Hear that sound?!

The rumbling noise is from Sam Adams rolling over in his grave.

High RPMs...

This is putting civilians against civilians owning guns...the Soviet Method of denunciation and de facto Civil war.

In cases where a finding of fact and guilt is to be made, one member of any such committee must be a member of Stop Handgun Violence, Inc.

They insure conflict of interest between fact finding and the courts. This is typical of what they do with court appointed Gardian Ad Litem meant to bash men and bring in "evidence" for the cause. No juries, just lawyers decide.

Might as well start hanging men, men's businesses and their supporting women and families by the balls.

Don't worry, I'm sure the president will get right on this.

[JudgemAll]

This is more than gun control, but attack of gun owners and their families and traditions/cultivation/education in political persecution. Mao's cultural revolution comes to mind.

When Massachussets gets run over by islamo-fascisto-communisto pervert genocidal monsters, we'll let them simmer in their own lawyer juices.

"Under this bill, all private owners of handguns would have to register each handgun with the police and have a separate $ 250,000 liability insurance policy on each handgun or have that handgun confiscated"

Want to bet that police officers would be exempt from these requirements or that their dept woould pay for the insurance?

"Under this bill, all private owners of handguns would have to register each handgun with the police and have a separate $ 250,000 liability insurance policy on each handgun or have that handgun confiscated"

I wonder if we can require all of the members of the Mass legislature to take out a $250,000 liability policy for every law they pass. That way it could be used to compensate the US taxpayers for the cost of the appeals that come from their stupid and unconstitutional laws. And if the cost of the appeals and litigation exceed $250,000 the members of the legislature could be thrown in jail for up to five years.

What part of "shall not be infringed" don't they understand?
