They say history repeats itself. Didn't think it would be this exact 😂Sometimes I wonder if this whole thing is just some charade for the anti gunners all freakin out but then again, Massachusetts' track record says otherwise
The time has finally come, and the wife and I are leaving for the south by the end of next month. I will continue to support GOAL and keep my membership active. Thank you, and to my fellow members, please continue to fight alongside GOAL for the current firearm owners and the ones yet to come.
Thank you for all the work you are putting in on this ! I contributed this and the last 3 maybe 4 years! The buck knives are sitting on my desk! We need to publish a list of legislators who are for us and 😮against us. This fall we picket their homes in ernest and let them know how much we love them!
There want this bill to pass but won’t pass a first responder PTSD bill and we lose 18 a day to suicides! Yet they will take a stand on a law that is in effect anyway. 🤬
Thanks jim!, you are absolutely correct on how to handle this egregious bill, separate the law abiding citizens from the criminals, MA has the most gun control laws and the criminals are not being prosecuted. And the bottom line none of it passes the constitution test, the legislators are not even going thru the judicial committee before discussing bills when it comes to gun control.
I have a question that's been bothering me for years. MA hs some of the most blatantly unconstitutional gun laws in the country. Just for example, Healeys 2016 AWB expansion proclamation when she was AG. Why don't we have any of these making their way up to the SCOTUS? I would think most of the MA gun laws would be a slam dunk if scrutinized by today's SCOTUS. Is there some reason why they never get up to the highest court?
Where is the federal government on our defense guns is a federal thing Massachusetts makes laws and rules that we do not vote or agree with or even aske us that is Constitutionally illegal This is AMERICA FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE ...
I’ve been a life long hunter and gun owner in this state. . It has gotten to a point where it’s not worth staying here ! goin way back they made ban on style guns and silencers ! I’m just done ! Dealing with gun laws in this state is like pouring gas on the fire ! I’m getting out ! So I can hunt & enjoy my self
New to ltc world. I have noticed the price of any gun I want is ( if allowed) higher by anywhere 1-250 dollars. So while the state suppresses my rights to capacity restrictions they also enjoy higher sales taxation. This such a scam I hate it.
House is going on the market, and I'm taking my business and my 6 figure salary with me. My ole lady is coming with me, and she makes better money. The 2 of us pay about 70k a year in state income tax alone....then sales tax, gas tax, tolls etc.
Massachusetts is a lot cause. Lived here 66 years and gun owners have taken it on the chin every time when it comes to "gun control". Healey was horrific as an attorney general and as Governor..she was destined to destroy legal gun ownership in the state. Mission accomplished. Time for me to leave.
Pass this on to your club. I just sent this to GOAL. Hello, I had sent a valid question days ago concerning this ‘new law’ being implemented on 8-1, GOAL never responded. It was a question as to why GOAL/NRA did not immediately put a TRO on this ‘law’ that was just passed so as to keep gun owners from harm while letting it go through the courts for review, GOAL and the NRA need to address that question. Gun club members/ gun owner’s in general all over the state are wondering why they send you money and you do nothing with it to protect them from the harm this bill does? Again, our bigger concern is Why GOAL did not immediately put a TRO, (temporary restraining order) against this attack on our 2A to halt it so it would do no harm and give the courts a chance to look at it, up to and including SCOTUS?? GOAL would not, had not returned a reply to my question on that, they only want your money, shut up and just send us money……no different than the NRA! Useless! Mark Shean Sent from my iPhone
Jim, given the information from this video, would it be useful for GOAL to put together a form letter summarizing our position so that members could forward it on to our reps? Basically saying the current content sucks. We gave you language that addresses the real problems, and that's what we can support. Maybe throw in the part about needing to fix licensing, but that might be a distraction. It might help if they hear it from more than just you.
You are delusional if you think the Democrats in charge are going to listen to you, GOAL or anyone else for that matter. They have the numbers and the votes to not need to care what the states gun owners think. Why do you think the gun laws are as bad as they are here? You think it's because they are scared of GOAL? They aren't and what little gun owners have left will soon be gone in Massachusetts.
According to the State's constitution, we shouldn't have to. But, free access to saltwater fishing is in the constitution too, but that was changed to $10 license.
Really scary the committee hasn’t reached out a single time to GOAL for expertise and explanation of how things work in the real world for real MA gun owners. Feels like a nuclear committee not consulting any nuclear scientists before they decide new laws on power plants. Not looking forward to however this gets resolved at the end of the month.
The new bill is absolute horseshit. Seeing it reported that lawfully purchased rifles after 2016 are illegal. They did not negotiate in good faith on this bill.
In other news, Massachusetts will institute a new calendar featuring 8 days per week and 315 days per year. They promise to unveil the details at some future date😂
Why don't you try to pass a law that if these law makers try to pass a unconstitutional law they spend a year in jail and lose their pension and position
We all get it. You are against the bill. The real question is what will goal do now? Will goal file or back lawsuits? Will goal connect with another group for legal action? What is the status of previous legislation and the litigation that went with it?
Massachusetts went from fighting for our freedoms too taking them
The worst of the bill? All of it!!! 🇺🇸
No compromise with tyrants
No legacy provisions means +250,000 people will become felons over night. Police are not going to enforce this nonsense bill.
Give us our rights back! Stop the abuse of power!
This comment should read something like:
You don’t have authority over me and you’re going to prison.
@@c8086o Agreed, that,s what they did to me! Jeff Dusti
Thank you for everything you do Jim! A true badass and patriot.
And to think "that it all began here" on 19 Apr 1775 when the British wanted to confiscate privately owned forearms.
They say history repeats itself. Didn't think it would be this exact 😂Sometimes I wonder if this whole thing is just some charade for the anti gunners all freakin out but then again, Massachusetts' track record says otherwise
Thank you, Jim!
Politicians are the enemy.
The time has finally come, and the wife and I are leaving for the south by the end of next month. I will continue to support GOAL and keep my membership active.
Thank you, and to my fellow members, please continue to fight alongside GOAL for the current firearm owners and the ones yet to come.
We relocated from Fitchburg to Bull Shoals, AR a few weeks ago. Best decision we ever made.
You guys are the best and even though I despise this state, I’m proud to be a member of you all
Well said! The whole thing is garbage.
These people need to read that document they swore an oath to defend
They would have to care about what it says in order to read it and they don't. Just move to another state. You'll be happier.
Glad for GOAL!
This bill gotta go in the trash.
Thanks Jim!!!
Shall not be infringed. What’s not to understand about that?
Once you realize they don't care about the Constitution then you are starting to get it . . . .
Thank you for your service

Send the whole bill back as objectionable except for the part of alcohol consumption.
There want this bill to pass but won’t pass a first responder PTSD bill and we lose 18 a day to suicides! Yet they will take a stand on a law that is in effect anyway. 🤬
All very well said.
Jim, if you recall the hearing they were too busy on their phones 😷😷😷
We need to peacefully protest!! This is unlawful
Good luck with that.
Thank you for all that all of you all in the office do for us.

SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!!!
They don't care about the Constitution.
Keep typing that on your keyboard while they pass laws lol. You typing that isn't doing anything but helping them.
I have a question that's been bothering me for years.

Thank you for the update Jim. We know you're putting the work in, don't let the questions get to you brother.
Thanks for your hard work GOAL!

Don’t back down! Not an inch!! Thanks for the uodate
We need more updates and more information more frequently please
shall not be infringed!!!!! its not a suggestion....its a directive!!!!! the government overreach is astounding...constitutional carry NOW!!
Keep typing that as they win lol
Thanx for the update Jim!!!

Pay cash. Places to have a cash or credit option. It cuts on the tax a little.
Just got news it passed- we need to get this reversed somehow!!
Good luck.......
Thanks for the update👍
Thank you Jim 🫡
I got sick of this BS and moved to NH. Unfortunately NH is just about one election away from Massachusetts style crap.
Yes my friend. I thought of NH. And now Im actually thinking of somewhere farther away now. Because of that.
@@cabragooncabulous4082 You moved to New Massachusetts! Why do you think they call us Massholes? We,re going to Maine! Much better. Jeff Dusti
Send them a copy of the coverage followed by the same Nbr of blank pages as in the bill.
House is going on the market, and I'm taking my business and my 6 figure salary with me. My ole lady is coming with me, and she makes better money.
The 2 of us pay about 70k a year in state income tax alone....then sales tax, gas tax, tolls etc.
It's all unconditional
So when is the lawsuit?
Massachusetts is a lot cause. Lived here 66 years and gun owners have taken it on the chin every time when it comes to "gun control". Healey was horrific as an attorney general and as Governor..she was destined to destroy legal gun ownership in the state. Mission accomplished. Time for me to leave.
Glad you're not making it easy by doing their bidding.
compromise less. appeal more.
Amen Goal, thank you for what you do Jim Wallace.
Thank you sir!
Well why are you all surprised? As a life long resident, Im convinced. My future may be residing in another state.
They want to be able to say we were supportive of the final bill. They want political cover.
They are completely deaf.
Is the live fire for licensing, still being considered a requirement in the bill?
GOAL in MA is just a fantastic organization!!!!!!!!!!! Jim Wallace is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pass this on to your club. I just sent this to GOAL.

They seem to be oblivious to all the recent court decisions. Are they prepared to defend this bad bill in court!

Shall Not Be Infringed, hows that for language?
Democrats don't care what you think.
You don't need a license for your 1st amendment rights. Why do you need to pay the government for permission for your 2nd amendment rights?
According to the State's constitution, we shouldn't have to. But, free access to saltwater fishing is in the constitution too, but that was changed to $10 license.

Moving to New Hampshire.See ya . Enjoy.
Are GOALs suggestions available?
They’re trying to ban barrel shrouds on semi auto rifes. BARREL SHROUDS. That’s basically all rifles on the market.
They've accomplished their goal of making it impossible to buy and very difficult to own ANY semi-auto rifle with a pistol grip and a detachable mag.
Any updates? Facebook or here?
The new bill is absolute horseshit.
Seeing it reported that lawfully purchased rifles after 2016 are illegal.
They did not negotiate in good faith on this bill.
So what exactly should we do moving forward? A lot of us don’t even know what’s going to happen with this bill? Are we going to felons overnight?
.what is goal good for?
Is the anti hunting language still there ?
In other news, Massachusetts will institute a new calendar featuring 8 days per week and 315 days per year. They promise to unveil the details at some future date😂
In secret, how do you respond (don't know what's in the proposed bill) whats in it.. second, no police exemption...none.
Will not comply
they passed a worse one while everyone was asleep
Why don't you try to pass a law that if these law makers try to pass a unconstitutional law they spend a year in jail and lose their pension and position
What’s the deal with h2361 and h1452? Why is there movement if those contents are covered in 4139 committee?
We all get it. You are against the bill. The real question is what will goal do now? Will goal file or back lawsuits? Will goal connect with another group for legal action? What is the status of previous legislation and the litigation that went with it?
I believe this bill was ChatGPT generated 🤔
Will not comply!!!!
Trying to get my local gun club to ditch GOAL and NRA membership in order to join. Both organizations don’t protect crap. Never have. Never will.
They want to be able to say we were supportive of the final bill. They want political cover.
They are completely deaf.
