A federal lawsuit filed recently in Massachusetts reflects a growing frustration among gun owners as far away as the Pacific Northwest, where law enforcement agencies have “suspended” the application process for concealed pistol licenses.
The Massachusetts lawsuit was filed by the Gun Owners Action League (GOAL) on behalf of Thayer Eastman against the City of Lowell for “failure to process firearms licenses in a timely fashion.” The case also has similarities to a federal complaint filed days ago in Illinois by the Second Amendment Foundation and Illinois State Rifle Association.

Until and unless stiff penalties are applied to governments (and criminal as well as civil penalties to their individual agents) that act in bad faith, no guarantee written in any democratically ratified official document is safe from totalitarian disregard.
Ordered liberty depends on both the people and the government obeying the law. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.' The right of the whole people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear arms of every description, and not such merely as are used by the militia, shall not be infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so vitally necessary to the security of a free State. Our opinion is that any law, State or Federal, is repugnant to the Constitution, and void, which contravenes this right. [Nunn vs. State, 1 Ga. (1 Kel.) 243, at 251 (1846)] |
