Northboro, MA – -(Ammoland.com)- Goal Executive Director Jim Wallace testifies (above) before the committee while John Hohenwarter of the NRA looks on. GOAL Corporate Attorney Ed George is seated to Jim’s left.
Like the previous 4 hearings we heard many people testifying from both sides of the issue, those that oppose our Second Amendment freedom continued to speak from the same talking points provided by the Mayors Against Illegal Guns.
GOAL members and those that support freedom provided great testimony using facts, statistics and logic to paint a picture of the many flaws in the current law, and the need to reform them.

We can only hope that our legislature will take note of this. As always GOAL will be working with our legislators to represent the law abiding gun owners of Massachusetts and will inform our membership should the need to take action arise.

They can have all the meetings that they want but we will still protect ourselves and fight for the rights of us and others. There is only so much for people who won’t protect themselves. The cops are afraid of bad guys. The cops are afraid of good guys who will stand up for themselves. That leaves only you for them to attack. They want you to be helpless. You are the only one who believes they are doing their jobs, which they aren’t. You are just paying them to drink coffee, eat doughnuts, and screw with easy targets like… Read more »
