"New Ground" In Gun Control

Leave it to Massachusetts to come up with an entirely new idea in gun control that gives the government complete control over who has guns, along with complete knowledge of just who has the guns, and where they are.  If H.4376, which has been passed by both houses of the legislature, is signed into law by the governor (who has signaled his willingness to do so), the very PURCHASE of ANY kind of a gun would be subject to the WHIM of a bureaucrat, and that bureaucrat is given wide latitude in declaring his REASON for denying it. So they’re not denying people the right to own guns, but are making it impossible if not APPROVED by a bureaucrat. As usual, this does NOTHING to limit the ILLEGAL purchase of guns by criminals, and serves to keep guns out of the hands of HONEST people—and does NOTHING to punish USE of a gun in a crime. Sneaky, but effective, for their purposes; not for ours. (The Daily Caller)
