Senator Michael Knapik of Westfield has filed an amendment to the FY2014 Senate budget on behalf of GOAL. The amendment would instruct the Massachusetts Inspector General’s Office to conduct a thorough investigation into the failure of the Massachusetts firearm licensing system.
For over a year GOAL has been attempting to go through channels to address the many problems with the Commonwealth’s firearm licensing system. One of the major problems we have run up against is that no one is in charge of the system, or at least no one wants to take responsibility for it. This type of government failure is never acceptable, but it is especially abhorrent when certain entities choose to ignore the problems and yet call for more regulation on our Second Amendment civil rights


GOAL is once again compiling evidence illustrating the broken Massachusetts licensing process.
Once compiled by the GOAL staff, these forms will be presented to MA Legislators at the State House by GOAL Executive Director Jim Wallace as evidence which perfectly illustrates the need for reform.
