Public Safety vs the State. . ..

Hello All, just a quick note on an email I got from the NRA. . . looks like we need to push on a bill, here are the details:

Emergency Powers Legislation Needs Your Help! State Senator Richard Moore (D-Worcester and Norfolk) has proposed Senate Bill 1401, legislation that would prohibit law enforcement or government officials from confiscating the "lawfully owned or lawfully carried" firearms of citizens during a declared state of emergency. S.1401 would also penalize those officials who choose to ignore this law and attempt to confiscate firearms. Please contact your State Legislators today at (617) 722-2000 and respectfully urge them to write a letter to the Joint Committee on Public Safety and Homeland Security, asking that S.1401 be released with a favorable report before the holiday break. Contact information can be found by visiting http://www.mass.gov/legis/citytown.htm.

What this boils down to is that if it passes the state will acknowledge that it does not have the right to take your guns during a time of emergency such as they did in LA for hurricane Katrina. In the worst of it the cops were taking folks guns so they could not protect themselves or their children from the looting and such that was going on. I think this has passes at the FED level but this would be for the state. We need this to pass folks, the life saved by this could be yours . . . . Please take a moment and write in to the statehouse if you can.
