from the Massachusetts Gun Owner’s Action League (GOAL)

New Proposed Regulations to Close Public Access to Firearms Training and Education in Massachusetts

GOAL has just been made aware of yet another attack on our Second Amendment rights by the Patrick Administration. Below is a copy of proposed regulations that the Administration seeks to put in place to cut off any access the general public might have to firearms education and training.

These new proposed regulations would affect any events that clubs might have that involve nonmembers possibly including junior shooting programs, Women on Target, Becoming an Outdoors Woman, First Step, state required firearm training courses, the Massachusetts Outdoor Expo, trap and range days where a club might charge a nonmember fee, etc.Ā The regulations would also end any events open to the public in regards to machine guns.

As GOAL has just learned about this attack prior to the July 4th holiday weekend, we will be providing more in depth information throughout the upcoming week. Please check GOALnews.org next week for more details. Continue reading →
