Your Rights are What We Tell You They Are

Does the Second Amendment protect New Hampshire residents from prosecution if they temporarily carry their guns across the border into Massachusetts? The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court on Monday heard arguments on the disagreement between the two New England states. [More]

Don’t they know that unalienable rights are subject to place, time, and political whim? It’s almost like these people think they live in a free country or something.

Crossing the Line

New Hampshire residents who carry their legally owned guns when passing through Massachusetts should not be charged with any crimes, Attorney General John Formella argued in a brief supporting a legal challenge from two state residents facing criminal charges in the Bay State. [More]

Enjoy these arguments while you can. If Kamala wins, remaking SCOTUS and reversing Bruen will be top priorities.

MA Gun License Challenged

The Second Amendment Foundation and National Rifle Association have filed an amicus brief with the Massachusetts Supreme Court in support of a New Hampshire man who is challenging the Massachusetts permit law. [More]

Hey, waddyaknow? NRA shared credit!

When did they start doing that?

Life in the TINVOWOOT Zone

Gun owners have taken the first step toward putting before Massachusetts voters a proposal to repeal the firearms law signed on July 25 by Gov. Maura Healey, a statute the governor called the “most significant gun safety legislation in a decade.” [More]

Yeah, about that…

If “we” lose in November, that zone will expand.

We Believe in the Second Amendment BUT…

Massachusetts House and Senate negotiators have released a compromise version of a sweeping gun bill that supporters say builds on the state’s existing gun laws, including a crackdown on difficult to trace “ghost guns,” while safeguarding the rights of gun owners. [More]

If they’re going to start out with a lie, several here that I can identify, what’s my incentive to read further and keep being lied to?

Way to continue being megaphones for tyranny, Associated Press and “real reporter” Steve LeBlanc!

MolochCare You Can Trust

Massachusetts has launched a taxpayer funded campaign costing $1 million to attack pregnancy centers. Or, as the officials call them, anti-abortion clinics. The billboard says, “Get care you can trust.” The link? A government website. [More]

How is the state attacking centers offering faith-based counseling not a First Amendment violation?

The Wrong Question

The state’s license-to-carry statute violates the Second Amendment by not providing objective standards for local police chiefs to exercise their authority to deny a gun owner’s application for a permit based on a finding of “dangerousness,” a Holyoke District Court judge has held. [More]

Yeah, OK, fine.

Now tell us where that “authority” for “permits” comes from.

Mr. Pynchon, you’re up.

Moms Demand Action AG Backs Laws That Enabled Criminal Brother Arrested for Rapes

But coming from a career criminal family, with authorities at one time calling her father the “leading black organized crime figure in New England,” there are personal incentives to blame the system instead of the individual… [More]

Otherwise, some woman rejecting his “advances” might have added his name to the “Gun Violence Archive”…

All in the Family

A DNA test identified the suspect as Alvin Campbell Jr., a burly 43-year-old with a long criminal history and a prominent relative. Campbell is the brother of Andrea Campbell, then a Boston city councilor and now the state’s attorney general. [More]

Alvin demands his Moms defenseless, does he, Sis?

We’re the Only Ones Diagnosing Enough

A police officer who visited Russo’s home to investigate allegedly reported that the dog was stiff, barely breathing, and appeared to be uncomfortable. The officer obtained a warrant and had Tipper euthanized. [More]

In Massachussetts, “Only Ones” are also “qualified” to file an ERPO petition.

Hey, take the dogs first, due process later, right?

It’s for the greater good…
