Urgent! New sportmens related legislation
Could Chapter 180, Part II Be Heading to Massachusetts?
If you don't remember, Chapter 180 of the Acts of 1998 created some of the most confusing and ill-advised set of gun laws in the country. The vast majority of those new laws
attacked lawful gun owners and did little, if anything, to address violent crime.
One recommendation actually suggests that,"... State Police be
assigned the duty of making periodic checks of registered guns." Imagine the day when law enforcement can come to your homes to take inventory of your private property!
