Gun Owners of Massachusetts - You're SCREWED!

Seen this at Of Arms and the Law?

Let's see... Massachusetts has police permit requirements for obtaining any guns, including rifles, storage requirements, effectively a long waiting period (it takes weeks to get the permit), a year's mandatory imprisonment for first-offense carrying without a permit or with an expired permit, limits on large magazines, etc., etc.

But Brady Campaign hasn't folded its tent there and proclaimed it's gotten enough. Instead, it's calling for more.

"Dan Vice, a staff attorney with the Brady Campaign, which advocates for gun control, said Massachusetts needs to establish a statewide registry of legally owned guns. He also urged the state to restrict gun purchases to one per month.

"The good news is Massachusetts has been a model for the nation, but much more can be done," he said. "

With Devil Patrick as Governor, I expect that things are about to get very very bad.

From the linked article:
"In New Bedford, we regard guns as a weapon of mass destruction," Mayor Lang told the committee. "We think they are a weapon of mass destruction throughout our cities and towns throughout the United States."
Sen. Jarrett Barrios, D-Cambridge, who co-chairs the committee, is gathering ideas for an omnibus gun-control bill that will be filed next year. He invited officials from Boston, Springfield and New Bedford, as well as state law enforcement and national policy experts.

WMDs? You have got to shitting me. Nothing like a little unbalanced rhetoric to pave the way. Mayor Lang obviously likes his servants uh, citizens disarmed. Registry and one gun per month. Read the rest of the article, and you may actually feel doomed.
