Massachusetts police chiefs demand more power to disarm citizenry

“Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association president Erik Blake said at the press conference that the provision giving police added discretion on firearms identification cards is ‘not about being capricious or arbitrary or taking away people’s rights,’” the Globe report continued. That’s one side of the mouth talking. The other side shows what kind of “discretion” the chiefs are demanding.

This is exactly why no LEO can have "discretion".

Interestingly, SCOTUS has already ADMITTED that the enumeration of the Second Amendment REMOVES from the hands of GOVERNMENT the POWER to decide on a case by case basis whether a RIGHT is really worth insisting upon.

That means REMOVED from the hands of zealots like this Mass POS too.

Now that DCs precious ban has fallen, it's time to target permit structures themselves. A reciprocity approach is pure bovine excrement. It's time to force admission that even a federal carry permit structure won't solve the problems (the folks in Vermont won't be too happy to be subjected to permits and banning of open carry for instance). Only adhering to the supreme law will do so.

Shall Not Be Infringed.

Period.
