Heller, which recognized an individual right under the Second Amendment to
possess firearms for self-defense, Justice Scalia observed: “The very
enumeration of the right takes out of the hands of government … the power
to decide on a case-by-case basis whether the right is really worth
insisting upon.”
Nevertheless, Boston Police Commissioner Bill Evans expressed his support
this week for a provision in the House version of a Massachusetts gun
control bill that would give local law enforcement officials discretionary
power to decide who may acquire licenses to own shotguns and rifles. This
provision was stripped from the State Senate version of the bill. Under
current law, local law enforcement officials already have discretion over
who is issued a license to own a handgun.
In an interview Boston Public Radio, Evans stated:
For the most part, nobody in the city needs a shotgun, nobody needs a rifle,
and I don’t know a lot of people who are into hunting who, being lifelong
residents, would actually want that who lives in the city, but, especially
here in the city I want to have discretion over who’s getting any type of
gun because public safety is my main concern and as you know it’s an uphill
battle taking as many guns off the street right now without pumping more
into the system.
Unfortunately, Evans is not alone in his failure to comprehend that
constitutional rights limit, rather than depend upon, the discretion of
government functionaries. On Tuesday, several Massachusetts police chiefs
gathered at the statehouse to protest the discretion provision having been
stripped from the senate’s bill. Among those participating were Evans,
Chief Terrence Cunningham of Wellesley, Chief Erik Blake of Oaks Bluff, and
former Boston Police Commissioner Edward F. Davis. The Boston Globe
additionally reported that Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick supports the
House bill.

发帖数: 14763 | 3 今夕何夕，一个暴力抗税产生的国家居然讨论公民是否有枪权？难道应该讨论的，不是
公民拥枪产生的费用，应该多大比例免税吗？
老汉个人观点，是100%免税外，联邦还要match 100%的tax credit，因为A well
regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right
of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.既然是必要的，那
自由国家就该为这个掏钱。
当然，老汉接下来的话就要让你们大骂“叛徒”了：）因为老汉支持枪权又支持枪控，
实际上老汉对第二修正案的解读是，它既保护the right of the people to keep and
bear Arms，也支持well regulated Militia。老汉可以同意严格的枪支控制，但这钱
得非枪主和枪主凑份子。
随便提醒一下开餐馆和其它业主，所有跟枪相关的费用，不要忘了以安保名义作为
business cost扣税，你们钱再多，也该表明立场，让非枪主也出这份钱。 |
