Gun rights group issues ‘travel advisory’ for Massachusetts after lawmaker proposes more firearm restrictions
Fox News
A gun-rights advocacy group issued a “travel advisory” for Massachusetts after a Democrat lawmaker filed a bill that would put more restrictions on firearms.
The National Association for Gun Rights issued the advisory on Tuesday and says that the law would be among the most restrictive in the U.S.
“The National Association for Gun Rights has issued a Travel Advisory for gun owners to and within Massachusetts in response to the State Legislature’s 140-page bill, House Docket 4420. HD 4420 is a comprehensive gun control bill that would ostensibly ban more guns than any current law in the United States,” the organization said in a press release.
According to the Boston Globe, the bill would do the following:

Dudley Brown, president of the National Association for Gun Rights, said in a statement that “This is probably the biggest and worst package of gun control regulation I have ever seen.”

“A ban on almost all guns, registration of every gun and magazine in the state (old and new) and a de facto ban on firearms carry are in the bill. Massachusetts just secured top position as the most hostile state in the union to gun owners,” Brown said. “Your gun rights and your freedom are at serious risk in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. If you live there you might want to pack your bags and if you are thinking of traveling there, you need to reconsider.”
The bill’s author, Democrat Rep. Michael Day, told FOX Affiliate Boston 25, “We’re not trying to go after or criminalize proper license [holders], people who can responsibly carry a firearm.”

“This is really intending to get at those that are evading our code of laws through the advancement of technology and criminal behavior,” said Day.
