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 |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
