Maura Healey - The War on Guns

Strong Hypocrisy Endangers Lives

The former aide of Gov. Maura Healey charged with cocaine trafficking can now post bail after a previous judge ordered him held without bail following a dangerousness hearing. [More]

You wanna talk about dangerous, how about the criminal underworld he enabled?

That and “illegally owning a firearm and ammunition” makes it pretty easy to understand why he helped her disarm the “law-abiding.”

Supply and Demand

Gov. Healey staffer fired after arrest on cocaine trafficking charge [More]

So, he empowers violent criminal enterprises whose trails of blood his boss exploits to demand more citizen disarmament…?

Gimme Shelter

Governor Maura Healey is calling for a full inspection of the state-run shelter system after a Dominican national was allegedly found with a loaded AR-15 rifle and pounds of fentanyl last week at a Revere hotel operating as an emergency shelter. [More]

Yeah, focus on the wrong end. That’ll solve nothing.

According to Her Nature

“If this were truly a public health emergency, she would have enacted the preamble when the bill was signed back in July. Now that we are close to gathering the signatures needed to suspend the law for two years, she’s invoking an emergency preamble to sidestep the will of the people. She’s acting more like a dictator than a governor,” Toby Leary, the owner of a Cape Cod gun store and a leader of the group, said in a statement. [More]

Well, yeah…

How can there still be any question as to what these people are?

Out of Range

Healey nixes proposed machine gun range on Cape Cod – The decision comes after years of debate between environmental groups and the Massachusetts National Guard. [More]

Leave it to “commonsense gun saftey advocates” to be against training.

Reminds me of another environmentalcase attack on guns…

HOW THINGS WORK AROUND HERE

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Anyone not happy with anything on this site at any time will get 100% of all money they paid to me refunded, no questions asked. (No gratuities solicited or accepted.)

Comment House Rules

Keep them on topic. Trying to hijack threads really grinds my gears. No spam.
I moderate them so I’ll get to them when I can.
No threats against anyone except me. No fights–this is my place and if things get ugly, I treat unruly visitors the same way as I would in my home. Do not feed trolls–I’ll take out the trash.
Try to keep it clean.
I’m the final arbiter. If you don’t like the rules, start your own damn blog.

WarOnGuns Correspondents

Story tips received via email and social media messages will be credited. Just let me know how you want to be recognized (real name, first name/last initial, or screen name.)

Link Policy

I maintained a WogRoll at the old Blogspot place predicated on reciprocity with like-minded RKBA-related sites. Truth be told, I never got much in terms of site visits to make the effort worth the time. I may try to do something again in the future, but for now, my hands are more than full trying to get a new site started.

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not done ads on the old blog for years. In case I ever start them up here, this will be the policy in effect: The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don’t think we’re getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you’re stupid, too. I have had a few ads on the old site in the past and may do so again if I think it’s worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn’t buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don’t mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now–you’re not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer without complete disclosure.

About “The Only Ones”

So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, the purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.
