At a recent hearing before the Massachusetts Legislature’s Joint Committee on the Judiciary I listened to testimony from panels comprised of clergy, physicians and law enforcement officers who oppose H. 763 and H.789, two bills that would remove the 90-year ban on silencers for use by the general public. As a former school principal, the prospect of a shooter with a gun equipped with a silencer fills me with horror. Citizens of Massachusetts are fortunate to live in a state whose commonsense restrictions on the availability of lethal weapons to civilians have rendered our commonwealth, as determined by gun deaths per capita, the safest in the nation. |

| So, a firearm with a suppressor scares him more than one without. Idiot. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
