Blow them evil Hamas bastards out past the atmosphere.

You are very brave to address this Dan. The subject is toxic.

But I guarantee you Putin will be pouring gas on the fire hoping Americans will turn against each other even more than they already are. He pursues every avenue that contributes to division and weakening of America. And there are indeed already protests from both Jews and Muslims in America. What could possibly go wrong?

Why were Israeli citizens defenseless? Less than 2% have a pistol license due to stringent gun laws.
Think about that when the leftist loonies keep rallying for gun control!

“It’s not a war, it’s not a battlefield. You see the babies, the mother, the father, in their bedrooms, in their protection rooms, and how the terrorists killed them,” IDF Maj. Gen. Itai Veruv said, describing the scene, i24News reported. “It’s a massacre.”

A well written letter by the Ware police department…

***UPDATE ON HD4607 (FORMERLY HD4420): AN ACT MODERNIZING FIREARM LAWS***

In a flagrant Trojan horse maneuver, the next stage of our “representatives’” unyielding attack on freedom has begun, while the House has once again displayed a brazen lack of scruples in using the Constitution of the United States as its personal wetwipe. 

Filling to absolute capacity the brim of human indecency by shamefully exploiting the recent tragedy in Holyoke, where an unborn babe was slaughtered by stray gunfire, shines a verifiable spotlight on the defunct moral compass of Boss Mariano and his Congressional Cronies. 

And since those fateful bullets were shot by two convicted felons, neither of whom held a license to carry, one of whom had an open firearms case against him at the time of the shooting, and wherewith nothing in this ridiculous Bill would have stayed their murderous hands, it begs the question of the true intent of HD4607.

Massachusetts already has in place some of the strictest gun laws in the country. And if the architects of this Bill were truly concerned with the general welfare of the people, they would not attempt to implement with coercive force new restrictions that only hinder responsible, forthright Americans from protecting their families and preserving their cherished values. Rather than smiting the tree of independence and poisoning the well of freedom, rather than disenfranchising our national spirit and stripping our sovereignty to its core, perhaps those representatives in Congress should enact and support systems to punish the criminal few, perhaps minimum mandatory sentences should be increased AND ACTUALLY EXECUTED BY OUR JUDICIARY, to hold accountable these wanton hoodlums who couldn’t give a wooden nickel about any of our laws in the first place, and to whom the inked provisions of this Bill would hold about as much weight as a soggy waffle.

Here is what a proper gun Bill might contain: 1st Offense, 2.5 years incarceration. 2nd Offense, 10 years incarceration. 3rd offense, permanent incarceration. Minimum mandatory, no exceptions; with a strong focus on mental health rehabilitation, work/life experience training, and enabling smoother pathways to higher education while incarcerated. 

At best this Bill is a futile, knee-jerk reaction to a public crisis, a fool’s plan hastily scribbled upon a piece of cheap stationary. At worst, it is nothing less than another step on the slow march towards complete authoritarianism.

Disarming the good guys is simply not a workable strategy to reduce gun violence. Because logic demands that if you criminalize firearms, only CRIMINALS will have FIREARMS. 

That is why the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association proudly, vigorously, and unanimously opposes this Bill. 

The Second Amendment cannot be destroyed wholesale. Congress knows this. Therefore, they have opted, through this Bill, and through many subsequent, to slay the beast a little at a time. Death by a thousand pinpricks. Until the last syllable of that meddlesome phrase “shall not be infringed” is brushed away like so much crumbling ash.

But you cannot dispense tyranny and label it wisdom. Cannot force-feed us oppression and call it security.

For those citizens who welcome and support this Bill, who firmly believe that these edicts ushered from an ivory tower will somehow increase the general welfare and promote the safety of our great State, we recognize your desire to see positive change, we admire your noble cause to make a difference, we respect your demands to force politicians into doing something more than merely provide lip service in the form of empty thoughts and prayers. But if you happily conclude that the framers of this Bill have our best interests in mind, we gravely implore you to never forget those portentous words, spoken so long ago, at the advent of a similar despotism: “This is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause.”

There is but one hope, and that is you. The ghosts of our Founding Fathers, reaching down to us through the generations, in their limitless brilliance and stunning clairvoyance, foresaw that these kinds of treasonous blows would be relentlessly applied to the weathered bedrock of the American Experiment, and have hence embedded countermeasures in the form of congressional liability as proof against such seditious malarkey. America is the greatest nation on earth for a reason, an exemplary beacon for the whole world. It is up to each successive generation to maintain that. Our Fathers are still clasping our hands. Will history peg us as the ones who relinquished that bond? Will our children and our children’s children one day look back on us with disgusted contempt? 

The line must be drawn here. 

Therefore, we once more encourage all citizens to voice their concerns with their elected officials. Here are some tools with which you can effect change:

1. Continue Contacting Your Representatives: Reach out to your Members of Congress via phone, email, or social media. Don’t relent! Express your concerns about the anti-gun bill and stress the urgency of addressing this critical issue. Personalized messages have a more significant impact, so share your personal experiences or thoughts on why this Bill troubles you.
2. Utilize Social Media: Leverage the power of social media to raise awareness and mobilize others who share your concerns. Use appropriate hashtags and encourage respectful discussions with friends and followers about joining the cause and the importance of protecting our Constitutional rights. Social media can be a powerful tool to raise awareness and generate support.
3. Encourage Others to Get Involved: Talk to your friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors about the impact of this issue and inspire them to make their voices heard. A collective effort is more likely to bring about meaningful change.

Thank you for your attention and active participation.
