The following post is an illustration of the left's thinking. Whether you think these are good ideas or ones that don't go far enough, our opinion is that we can expect more attacks on the Second Amendment.
Whenever there is a mass murder using a gun, the left will ramp up its friends in the media and condemn the tool rather than the tool who used it. We are on a slippery slope toward total gun confiscation. Whether it will occur in a month or many years, this is where we are heading unless Americans of all stripes come together to stem the tide.
Are you prepared to quit your job, start protesting, resisting the government using all means available? This is the decision that all average Americans will have to make if we are going to take this country back.
What will you do when it comes time to resist the government?

Democrat’s Proposal Will Force Gun Owners to Store Assault Weapons At Government Approved Storage Depots

Massachusetts State Representative David Linsky has filed a new bill that would force gun owners to undergo mental health background checks, pay an additional 25% tax on all forms of ammunition, and require firearms categorized as “assault weapons” to be stored outside of their homes at government approved sites.

“This bill is a comprehensive effort to reduce all types of gun violence – murders, intentional shootings, accidental shootings and suicides. There is not one solution to reducing gun violence – we can’t eliminate it – but there are a lot of common-sense steps that we can take to significantly reduce the everyday tragedy of gun violence and deaths,” said Linsky……“I have spoken with hundreds of people over the past few weeks in developing this legislation – victims, police officers, criminologists, physicians, and yes – gun owners and sportsmen,” stated Linsky. “There are a lot of good ideas out there. We should all have one goal – reducing gun violence and trying to keep more tragedies from happening.”Provisions in the bill include:
- Having one standard of the issuance of all gun licenses, giving local police chiefs the ability to evaluate all aspects of an application for a gun license.
- Requires proof of liability insurance for possession of a firearm, rifle or shotgun.
- Requires that all large capacity weapons and grandfathered assault weapons must be stored at gun clubs or target ranges.
- Requires live shooting as part of the curriculum for a basic firearms safety course; this is not a current requirement.
- Requires all applicants for gun licenses and FID cards to sign a waiver of mental health records for review to be destroyed after decision.
- Imposes 25% sales tax on ammunition, firearms, shotguns, and rifles; dedicates funds towards firearms licensing, police training, mental health services, and victim’s services.
- Brings Massachusetts into compliance with the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).
- Limits gun buyers to one firearm purchase per month.
That way if someone breaks in your house, all you have to do is run down to the local gun storage facility to get your guns.
It makes perfect sense.
It makes perfect sense.

ReplyDeleteNo. The only thing is illustrates is the ignorance of one state representative in Mass. Having just read the Supreme Court case in Heller, the Court held that you have a constitutional right to keep any legal weapon in your home. I am 100% sure this law would be found unconstitutional by the SC.
This bill hasn't been passed into law. Unless their whole legislature is off their collective rocker, it will not even get out of committee in this form.
