Public comment doesn't get anything done. Been there, done that dealing with the officials.
If I was in his shoes, I'd keep the comments to under 3 minutes, and contact the township officials outside of the meetings. If it wasn't going well, I'd talk to others in the area of like minds and try again. If that doesn't work, I'd be running in the primary against them or recalling them.
Regardless, taking away the man’s right to own guns for life because he “resisted” is beyond ridiculous.
