It’s time for GOAL members, gun owners, and those who believe in freedom and civil liberties to rise up and demand that the Massachusetts government respect the US Constitution. Get all the details about the Bruen to Boston Rally, taking place on Sept. 27, here.

It looks like the good, law-abiding, gun owners of Massachusetts might be getting a stay of execution. Their so-called “Carry Killer” bill has been delayed. It’s probably a safe bet that this bill will come before the legislature again in the future. Probably in more onerous form, if that’s even possible.

After all of the Gun Law Listening Tour stops, in which MA Rep. Michael Day promised to listen to both sides of the “gun issue”, his true intentions are now on display. A 140-page, pre-written bill that includes and expands upon the provisions of New Jersey’s so-called carry killer law. This is a bad one folks.

No matter how much you polish it, a turd is still a turd. The people of Tennessee have made it clear that they don’t want more ineffective laws that target the law-abiding while doing nothing to stop mass murderers. Governor Lee has proposed, what we guess is, a red flag law that seems to be a little more balanced and in line with US Constitution than other states’ red flag laws. But is it, really?

At stop number 10, in Springfield, MA, the Gun Law Listening Tour comes to an end. The topic was so-called “impacted communities.” The turnout was low. What we’d like to know: Was anything accomplished, whether good, bad, or indifferent? Was anyone swayed towards or away from the pro-gun or anti-gun side? We’re just not sure.

Stop number nine of the Massachusetts Gun Law Listening Tour took place at Northern Essex Community College in Lawrence, Mass. The subject: Training and Shooting.

The eighth stop on the Massachusetts Gun Law Listening Tour took place at a high school in New Bedford, MA. The topic was so-called “impacted communities.” NB is known as a high-crime city where individuals might feel the need to carry a gun. Despite this, the audience turnout was rather lackluster.

A police detective had a major “whoopsie” in the men’s room at a boy’s school that almost landed him in some serious doo-doo. A so-called “swatting” call was made, targeting a prep school, which led to a negligent discharge by a police employee which then prompted an even bigger response.

The Massachusetts Gun Law Listening Tour had yet another stop in Framingham. The subject was a relevant one: school shootings. There were people present from both sides of the 2A argument. As expected, the red and orange shirts had arguments based on emotion and void of logic. After all, even though pro-gun folks are allowed to attend and even speak, its a tour with an anti-gun agenda, isn’t it?
