All hail the Police Chiefs! Our overlords in MA, Living Gods, masters of the people, the real robber barons who control us serfs.
On July 25 Breitbart News reported that Massachusetts police chiefs wanted “sole discretion” over who can purchase a long gun, be it a rifle or a shotgun.
On August 1 state lawmakers passed a bill that gives police chiefs such discretion.
According to Reuters, police chiefs already had final say on would-be handgun purchasers, and the new law would extend that by providing them with “the authority to turn down a resident’s request to buy a rifle or shotgun.”
House Speaker Robert DeLeo (D) commented on the law: “We seek not to be the safest state in the nation but strive to make our communities the safest in the world.”
On July 25 Breitbart News reported that Boston Police Commissioner William Evans spoke in support of giving police chiefs “authority” over long gun sales. At that time Evans also said, “For the most part, nobody in [Boston] needs a shotgun. Nobody needs a rifle.”
The gun control legislation now goes to the governor to be signed.

Authority over the Second Amendment! Authority over our lives. Do they also have authority over our speech and religion? Shall we be like China where churches have to be registered and approved by the State?
The liar known as DeLeo wants us to be the safest in the world. I’d rather be the freest in the world. Not that he can guarantee safety, who can? You can die in a car accident even if you’re wearing your seat belt. Safety? Fine, let us We The People have authority over which police chiefs can get a weapon. They want guns? Let them come to us. Disarm William Evans! He says we don’t need a shotgun? I say the same applies to him. Leave your gun at the police station, Chief Evans. Be disarmed like the people you disarm. You’re not even a real beat cop, you patrol nothing, you protect no one, so as the gun haters would ask me, why do you need a gun? If it’s not my right, why is it yours? A police chief can do his job without a gun. So go ahead, Evans, surrender your weapons!
