The assault on the 2nd Amendment continues; this time from the birthplace of the United States and its Constitution and Bill of Rights!

"Sure you can have your guns: but the government is going to `hold'
them for you so you can't commit any crimes with them!"
--David Linsky's subliminal message to the gun owners of Massachusetts


New Proposal Will Force Gun Owners to Store Assault Weapons At
Government Authorized Storage Depots

Because you can never have too many laws, regulations and mandates,
Massachusetts State Representative David Linsky has filed a new bill
that would, among other things, force gun owners to undergo mental
health background checks, acquire liability insurance, pay an
additional 25% tax on all forms of ammunition, and require firearms
categorized as “assault weapons” to be stored outside of their homes
and only at government approved storage depots.

“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.

Bills such as this one are being filed by irrationally driven anti-
gunners all over the country.

They are targeting every aspect of firearms in an effort to first
reduce ownership, and then to ultimately ban it altogether.

They’ll expand the definitions for mental health to include basic
forms of stress and normal human mood fluctuations and designate these
as mental health conditions that would disqualify you from owning a
gun.

They’ll tax gun purchases and ammunition like they’ve done with
cigarettes (tripling the cost over a decade) and require huge
insurance premiums, making ownership unaffordable for most Americans.

They’ll track the sale and transfer of all firearms through
registration, with unjust punishments for anyone engaging in black-
market trading.

And, eventually, another crisis – likely one that purports to threaten
the very security and stability of the government of the United States
– will be used in an attempt institute a complete roundup of the
majority of modern firearms.

A full out assault on the Second Amendment is underway.

Hey, Linsky: What part of "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED" do you NOT
understand?!?

And in case one of the readers try to say "militia only:"

“In District of Columbia v. Heller, decided in 2008, the Supreme Court
of the United States ruled by a five-to-four vote that the Second
Amendment of the Constitution protects an individual right to possess
a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that
firearm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense....” )

that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do

galvanized Americans to a point where the intensity on our side is
going to match the intensity on their side.”

“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are
neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make
things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they
serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed
man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.”
--Thomas Jefferson

“False is the idea of utility that sacrifices a thousands real
advantages for one imaginary or trifling inconvenience’ that would
take fire from men because it burns, and water because one may drown
in it; that has no remedy for evils, except destruction. The laws that
forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm
those only who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.”
--Cesare Bonesana, Marchese Beccaria, `Of Crimes and Punishments'

“Why is it that every time a lunatic uses a firearm to commit an
atrocity the gun-control fanatics want to punish the millions of gun
owners that DIDN'T do it?!?!?”
