"Ray for PA" Linsenmayer is on the right track UPDATED "Throw them out!"

Massachusetts' ban on assault weapons upheld by U.S. judge

Massachusetts’ beefed-up ban on assault weapons doesn’t violate the Second Amendment of the Constitution, a U.S. judge ruled, handing a victory to gun-control advocates seeking to pass such a law nationwide following a spate of deadly mass shootings.

“The AR-15 and its analogs, along with large capacity magazines, are simply not weapons within the original meaning of the individual constitutional rights to ‘bear arms,’” U.S. District Judge William Young wrote in a decision Thursday in Boston, dismissing a lawsuit over the state law.

Ray Linsenmayer is the only candidate who believes that people have the right to protect themselves from “weapons of war.” Conor Lamb merely wants to improve the background checks system.

Update April 7, 2018 1:23 PM There is a movement called Throw Them Out, an action plan to kick out lawmakers beholden to the gun lobby.

We’ve had enough. Thoughts and prayers are not enough to honor the victims of gun violence. What we need now is ACTION. Lawmakers have had enough time to come around to common sense, and we’re done waiting. We must now elect leaders who will finally act to save lives from gun violence. It’s time to throw them out.

A vote for Ray Linsenmayer means one less lawmaker to "throw out." I learned about this movement from https://momsdemandaction.org/ Remember how our kids and families marched on March 24 where Conor Lamb had the nerve to attend? Remember how he wasn't there to speak to the media? Of course not. What would he say? "I will not support any action to ban assault weapons. Let's just do better background checks and keep the age at eighteen for buying weapons of war."

Young cited a landmark 2008 Supreme Court decision that found that “weapons that are most useful in military service — M-16 rifles and the like” are not protected under the Second Amendment and “may be banned.”
