Lieutenant Governor Kerry M . Healey yesterday called for stripping local police chiefs of the power to issue gun licenses and transferring the responsibility to a specially appointed state public safety official, a proposal that puts in her line with the agenda of the Massachusetts gun owners' lobby.
Yeah, I know, preemption, patchwork quilt, yada yada yada...
License is not liberty. There are enough gun owners to make that point clear if they wanted to badly enough.
Which they don't.

....Currently.
Faith, David my friend, Faith.
Know that you have been at this a hell of a long time. And have seen many a setback. And that your arm grows weary from wielding your sword.
But, as pointed out by Mr. Henry, in his famous speech:
"...Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable - and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come...."
Would suggest that we all do prepare ourselves. For it is, indeed, coming....
Kerry Healy is a woman. She is a much better choice than Deval Patrick but being part of the mainstream politicians you can be sure that they will violate their oath of office to uphold the Constitution somewhere along the way.
The only way we are going to get better legislatures, is to do a better job in the primaries. A lot of good folks make a run for office, but never make it to the general election because they did not get any support in the primaries.
E. David, I have to agree that "it is indeed coming"
David, I posted a link here from my take on this article.
