As the Leftists always want
and have a separate $ 250,000 liability insurance policy on each handgun
Nice way to **spit** "progressively" punish any enthusiast who likes guns
or have that handgun confiscated
Another tittilation for the liberals. (Do you think they rub their nipples as they read about this bill?)
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.
Five years for failing to predict how much damage a thief will do after they steal your gun, or for failing to predict how sympathetic the victim will be. Not being omniscient will now be a crime.
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.
And a stacked jury, to boot. How nice.
Anyone who sells someone more than one gun a month shall be imprisoned for up to life. However, this law will not apply to anyone under the age of 18.
So a 16 year old gang member can do it, but a 64 year old man selling his collection to help pay for his wife's surgery will be imprisoned for failing to find 37 buyers for his 37 pieces.
Most disgustingly, this bill is being crammed through the Legislature under Homeland Security measures.
The libs are getting more and more clever. Pols can't vote against Security, after all, thanks to the GOP's approach since 9-11... therefore they can blame the GOP for its passage (if it is ever even noticed as deserving blame).
America could do without MA.
I tell ya....I hate this Fu***ng state. Can't wait to get my ass out.
bump
Massachusetts is a hopeless state. All conservatives should move. Pennsylvania, New Hampshire or Maine would be a good choice.
PING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Boston better beware, terrorists love an unarmed society.
What else can you expect from Liberals. Taking away your right to protect yourself is a first step toward Marxism/Communism.
Gunsarebad ..... NOT!!!!
Libertarians have been saying all along that they would eventually use the "homeland security" government power grab to go after guns.
I'm going to donate to the NRA right now.
And, by this philosophy, you'll also need this kind of liability policy on your car, for those who might steal it and injure someone with it. ...and your garden tools and sporting goods, since a theif might assault someone with your shovel or mug some little old lady with your stolen 9-iron.
Principles work. Use them.
The correct principle at work here should be: You are accountable for your actions. You are not accountable for others' actions using your stolen property.
Mass is gunning for CA's "Most Liberal State" status?
"Committee?" This should surely say "jury," and you can't do that anyway.
