Communist/Globalist politicians continue to abridge Americans’ Second Amendment right to self-defense despite the terrifying nationwide crime waves ignited by their soft-on-crime policies.
This from westernjournal.com.
In the latest constitutional breach, the blue state of Massachusetts approved a sweeping gun control bill that critics say would impose widespread bans on commonly owned firearms.
On Wednesday, the Leftist-controlled Massachusetts House of Representatives passed H 4135, which prohibits firearms in public spaces such as schools, polling places and government buildings, cracks down on “ghost guns” and tightens the state’s ban on so-called assault weapons.
Second Amendment proponents said the bill, which passed by a vote of 120-38, targets legal gun owners while doing nothing to deter crime.
Jim Wallace, executive director of the Gun Owners’ Action League, told The Associated Press:
All of it goes against us, the lawful people. There’s nothing in there that goes after the criminals.
Wallace slammed the legislation as an overreaction to last year’s Supreme Court decision that expanded the right of individuals to carry guns in public for self-defense.
He continued:
This is a tantrum. This is a flat-out tantrum.
In a statement, the NRA Institute for Legislative Action also torched the Massachusetts bill, saying:
[It] re-writes gun laws in the Commonwealth and imposes unprecedented gun-control.
The group said the 125-page bill impinges on the Second Amendment rights of legal gun owners by doing the following:
• Eliminating due process through expanded ‘red flag’ laws.
• Imposing new ‘safe storage’ mandates in and outside of one’s home.
• Instituting expanded gun registry programs.
• Placing an ‘extreme financial burden on gun-owners to price them out of being able to exercise their Second Amendment rights.’
The bill now heads to the Massachusetts state Senate, where it will likely pass since that chamber is also controlled by communists/globalists by a lopsided margin (36 Democrats to 3 Republicans).
Critics said it makes no sense to tighten the state’s already-strict gun laws when Massachusetts has the lowest rate of firearm fatalities in the contiguous United States.
Essentially, gun control laws undercut the self-defense rights of law-abiding citizens while doing little to deter lawless thugs from terrorizing the public.
Criminals always manage to get their hands on guns illegally.
If gun control laws worked, shootings would not be so common in leftist cities, such as Chicago and Philadelphia, that have strict gun-control laws.

What’s especially chilling is that Leftist politicians are rabidly pushing to erode Americans’ constitutional right to self-defense after they demonized and disempowered the police and incentivized lawlessness with their soft-on-crime policies.
Crime has become so rampant in liberal sh*thole cities nationwide that many of We the People feel we have no choice but to defend ourselves with the purchase of firearms and to “keep and bear Arms”—which includes the most technically accoutered AR-style weapons as well as handguns.

Making matters worse, the Obiden Regime ignores America’s horrific descent into lawlessness and chaos while spending billions of U.S. tax dollars to arm Ukraine and other foreign nations.
Final thoughts: No doubt this is one more element of the Obama Transformation of America into a third world serfdom.
This will be another case to be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court, but which court will present for work that particular day, the Constitutional Court or the Compromised Court?
