MA Firearm Safety

Continued from page 2: People that want to obtain their pistol permits are not the problem, a simple background check is all that is needed to verify that. They need not be treated with, in many cases, contempt. Politicians and the police need to understand that these citizens are not the reason for crime, and treating them badly is not a solution to crime, and never will be.

   There has never been a criminal, that on the threshold of perpetrating a crime, stoped and said,”gee, I think I should obtain a pistol permit first”. There will be police chiefs screaming that they need arbitrary discretion over this issue, no, they do not. They need clear, concise direction from you in the legislature. Arbitrary discretion does a disservice to the public. Not everyone may want to keep a firearm(s) for self defense, but every American should support and honor the constitutional rights of all those who do, by not allowing discretionary tactics to strip away that right, ever.

   I am not a lobbyist, I am only an individual highlighting a problem that exists, a problem that is effecting only the honest people of the state. I am asking as a constituent, for representation that would give relief to all law abiding citizens/constituents in Massachusetts. I thank you in advance for taking the time needed from your busy schedules to consider this outlined problem/proposal. Please, if you have any questions I would be honored to lend any assistance I can. cc: Rep. T.J. O’BRIEN (D) 12Th Plymouth District. Sincerely, Mark Shean–

    [Note; I wrote this and sent it certified mail and received the return receipts. When shown a chance to make a positive impact that would effect good people statewide what we receive instead is no response, none, from either DeMacedo or O’Brien. But when they see a chance to levy a new tax or scheme up a new fee, politicians are johnny- on- the- spot for any opportunity to lighten our wallets. As THOMAS JEFFERSON once said,{“What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?”}

Term limits need to be forced onto the next election cycle for a binding vote!
