I like the musket march idea. Get a large amount of people together with real muskets and BP revolvers with real live ammo ready to load. Then let it be known that you want things to change. If they don't listen, next time you're bringing your "modern muskets."
IANAL, but it appears this may be legal as long as you don't load them. Heck a force of a couple thousand with functional blackpowder weaponry could really scare the freedom haters. Even with the primitive tech, that mob would outgun most of the local state forces. They might be shitty muskets and single action revolvers but they're still guns. Would you want to piss off a guy with a .58 caliber lead launcher? |

Are there enough Massachusetts men with "assault rifles" to muster on Lexington Green in an orderly fashion for a protest? Figure 100 ought to be a good number to start.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if they called out the national guard on such a protest. Lexington is about as passionately anti-gun as it gets, even in MA.

Judging from the protest, how many people do you think would be capable of walking 11 miles that were protesting? The gears in my head are turning, and it involves trying to get enough people to turn out for a march, openly carrying arms, that musters on Lexington Green and marches to Breed's Hill (the Battle of Bunker Hill monument) that the powers that be are hesitant to attempt to stop it. Quite a few. A lot of young folks, 20-30 year olds. I would definitely attend. I can't carry in MA, but I could muster a Western NH Regiment to come down and march, for sure. |

Unconfirmed reports of Gloucester cops showing up at a local range and checking to see what folks have in their cars. I'm confused, didn't they allow you to keep your ARs but you simply can not sell or buy any? Her ruling made the sale, and possession, of all semi-autos illegal. She just stated no action would be taken on people who already were owners.....yet! If you have an "assault weapon" clone that was not made before 1994 , that gun is a felonious possession. The sale, transfer, or possession of an “Assault weapon,” as defined in Section 121, is unlawful pursuant to G.L. c. 140, §§ 128 and 131M.
The AGO reserves the right to alter or amend this guidance. Here is what Jim Wallace of GOAL (Massachusett's gun rights organization) said to the Herald (local paper): What I basically said was that our phones were blowing up with questions about complying with the new law.
One of the many questions was, "Is it OK to bring my semi-autos to the range?" Our response has been. "We simply don’t know because the AG has already declared you to be a felon." It is not a stretch that an unfriendly chief or DA could easily use that against you. Lets say you get pulled over on the way for something minor and you have a newly declared "illegal" gun in the car, we simply don’t know what could happen. For example, the chief in a gun-unfriendly town like Lowell might say, "Give up your license or we will prosecute you for illegal possession of an assault weapon." Or worse, if the violation (or whatever you want to call it) got to an eager DA, they could now hold a ten-year felony over your head. That is how insidious this thing is, we simply don’t know. |
