Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick (D) signed an very extensive package of gun control measures earlier this year – the law will allow police chiefs to ask the courts to deny persons gun rights who the cops feel are unfit.
If you live in Massachusetts be sure not to upset police if you want to keep your guns. So Constitutional rights are now subject to the whims of law enforcement.
The legislation allows police chiefs to ask courts to deny firearms identification cards needed to buy guns to individuals they feel are unfit to obtain them, toughens penalties for some gun-based crimes, creates an online portal for background checks in private gun sales, carves out a firearms trafficking unit within the state’s police department and requires that Massachusetts join the National Instant Background Check System.
Gun control advocates hailed the measures as ones that make Massachusetts “a leader for the rest of the nation.”
“With the stroke of Governor Patrick’s pen today, Massachusetts is now a leader for the rest of the nation in passing common-sense gun reform while continuing to respect the Second Amendment rights we all value,” Molly Malloy, the leader of Massachusetts’ chapter of Moms Demand Action, said in a statement. “The single most effective thing we can do to keep guns out of dangerous hands and reduce the number of Americans killed with guns every day is require criminal background checks on all sales to close the loophole that allows felons, domestic abusers and the dangerously mentally ill to buy guns. Real leadership is what will keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people, and we are grateful to have leaders on this issue taking action to protect our families in the commonwealth.”
State lawmakers from both parties agreed on the package of measures in July. The legislation was supported by both gun control advocacy groups and the Massachusetts Gun Owners Action League, though the National Rifle Association opposed the bill, arguing that government officials could abuse new licensing powers created with the legislation.
Businessman Charlie Baker, who is running for the Republican gubernatorial nomination to succeed Patrick, said in a candidate debate Wednesday that he would have signed the package of gun control measures, though he had previously avoided giving a definitive answer on whether he supported the provision allowing police chiefs to deny firearms identification cards to those they consider dangerous.
Patrick, who is considered a rising star within the Democratic Party and a potential future contender for the party’s presidential nomination, has said he will return to the private sector when his gubernatorial term expires in January.

revised citizens act, the United States will not do business with any communist country, this promotes slavery and undermines freedoms and empowers communist countries, businesses and corporations within the United States ,doing business with foreign countries would be taxed accordingly to the proportion of business being performed in foreign countries, for example if a company or corporation does 50% of their business in a foreign country, their tax rate would be 50%, if they did 10% business in a foreign country, their business tax would be 10%. I think what we need to do is to come together as a nation , and write a bill
called the citizens act.this bill would be called the citizens act, because we the citizens need to act is save our country from destruction, this would superseded anything the politicians would do.also the citizens act should be put into the Bill of Rights. This would empower the citizens to veto any law
or bill that the Congress, Senate, or president, pushed on the American
citizens, that the citizens believed was not in the best interest of the United
States, we should have the power to put on the ballot, any bill or law that
we believe is unconstitutional, unnecessary, or harmful to the people of the
United States, for a public vote,for example,say that we believe a
president, or political party is detrimental to the survival of the United
States, we could hold a emergency election, as citizens to impeach, or
removed from power any politician or political regime that the citizens
believes is harming this country, it would take a vote of at least 50% of
citizen participation to perform this act, and could be initiated by 13 governors petition by their citizens, also if the citizens want to pass a bill
on their own, for example,I have a bill, that I want the politicians to sign ,
they have to sign it first,to find out what’s in it, I’m sure they understand this
procedure well ! What we need in The United States of America is a bill
called the Treason Act. It would be used to control our politicians and
political parties. It would define what treason is and would have to be
signed by the politicians before they could hold any position in office. It
should have the definition of treason and also the penalties. The penalties
should not be limited to death. It should include all the money that the
treasonous person including their family and extended family members
have acquired in their lifetime in this country or any other country, including
any and all properties such as stocks, bonds, corporations and any
financial holdings. The definition of treason should include noncompliance
of the Constitution, anything that hurts any citizen who is unable to take
care of themselves due to age or sickness. no politician should make more
money, than the lowest paid soldier, and should not be eligible for, any
medical benefits, greater than what the people in the military are offered I’m
sure that if this bill was created to control and make our politicians
accountable we would have a better country. This is just an idea to help
make this country better. I’m sure that there are many other American
citizens who could add even more to this. It would be used to protect all
American citizens from corrupt, immoral politicians who take money or
gratuities from corporations, private individuals and or other governments.
This should be a requirement for all elected politicians only. If you have any
ideas or thoughts pass this on or add to it. we could put something like this
on a ballot and as a nation vote and on it, we could also write bills limiting the
power of any branch of office, we could also dictate how much money,
benefits any federal politician could receive, not let them vote on their own
pay raises. The citizens act would put the power of government back in the
hands of the citizens, and the power of the veto, to veto any bill or
legislation that the federal government as control of right now, we would be
empowering ourselves, we could also use citizens act to remove any
corrupt official in the federal government, and removing the power from
special interest groups, if you like this let’s try to make this happen, if we
can get someone with the ability, to create an on line petition and collect
signatures, there should be no way that we could be stopped
one American citizen trying to make a difference. also you must be a legal citizen, for at least 18 years before you’re eligible to vote, this is what is required of our natural born citizens, and this should be the minimum of all people entering this country ! I hope you see how much power this gives the citizens and what we could do with it. if you’re on board with
this, click on the text and share, thank you BILL SHARPE Ellendale Delaware.
Dems want to enslave USA citizens. GSY
Sorry about the Massachusetts Police BUT THEY don’t override the CONSTITUTION nor the 2d Amendment.
Bet Massachusetts would like Romney back.
And this their consistent goal in so doing: Dictatorship 101 Revised – NOTE ITEM #4 PLEASE
1) A major first step is the Gaining control by whatever means available of ALL means of communication, i.e. the news media and every other means of private and public communication; a primary target being the public schools, the Gospel Preaching Christian Churches and the ultimate elimination of all vestiges of Our Triune God from the nation.
2) That while also taking promptly total control in/of all areas of the courts specifically and the criminal justice system in particular, all areas involving banking, finance, commerce, etc.;
3) While also seeking to totally DIVIDE AND CONQUER, this a very basic Rule for success in establishing control in an adversarial endeavors be it in the War on the BATTLEFIELD or in the ‘POLITICAL WARFARE TRENCHES’ in the TARGETING OF THE NATION’S ENTIRE/TOTAL POPULATION . . . and anyone that is ‘awake’ is seeing that accomplished daily; this ‘tool’ being applied exponentially by government in general and now in particular in our United States of America today: citizen against citizen, neighbor against neighbor, that by courts and the government at both the national, state, county, city and town level; this tool so candidly stated by an appointee of the Alien Occupier: “Crisis offers Opportunity” and thus the fermenting of civil commotion in every available area is being utilized as simply yet another of the satanic tools being put in play;
4. But most certainly of greatest importance is implementing by every means available the Totally disarming of the general population as Hitler’s National Socialist did especially targeting the Jews; Marks & Stalin’s Communist and as sought by the UN and those of the National Socialist/Communist/liberals; especially those currently in power in out nations’ government; their sole purpose is to facilitate the allowing of only the ‘government’ to be armed thus establishing total dependence on the government by those of the population who are ‘law abiding’ our of fear or for whatever reason, while seeking to convey what is actually a totally false sense of safety and well being.
Note:
This course of action/instruction approved by Hussein, Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Hun Sen, Kim Jong-II, Chairman Mao, Chavez, Castro, Mussolini, as well as all others of similar ilk including the Pagan Barbaric Alien Occupies of our White House specifically and our nation’s government in general.
