Gun group tells residents to consider moving from blue state after lawmaker proposes gun control bill
“…The 140-page omnibus bill, An Act of Modernizing Firearm Laws, makes sweeping changes to Massachusetts gun laws. This includes mandating that all firearms and feeding devices be registered, banning people under 21 from buying or carrying a semi-automatic shotgun or rifle, banning concealed carry of firearms on private property unless expressly permitted and much more.
“This is real bad news for any gun owner that lives in Massachusetts,” Hein said. “Basically, pack your bags and leave because it’s untenable if this thing passes.”
The National Association for Gun Rights issued a travel advisory for anyone who lives in Massachusetts or is traveling to Massachusetts because of the bill last week.
The bill also cracks down on firearm-adjacent areas including banning targets with human silhouettes at ranges, banning people under the age of 18 from possessing mace or pepper spray and adding stun guns under the definition of firearms.
“So what this bill will actually do is prohibit a young high school girl from being able to defend herself with even mace,”…”
It appears the bulk of this bill will prove to be unconstitutional. This does not matter to Democrats. They are doing this to excite their base. Senior Democrats likely know the bill, if passed, will not stand Supreme Court or lower court scrutiny. That does not matter. This is a cynical strategy to fool their base in the runup to elections.

Chris the DNC shill deftly avoids telling his largely astroturfed fanbase that the specific debt forgiveness only applies to those who have made 20 or more years of payments.
Which means it doesn't affect Gen Z one bit. It's a Gen X handout. https://t.co/xmLempC0jO
