His questions are in bold.
My responses are NOT in bold.
Paul Heroux
State Representative, Massachusetts asks these questions:
What would you do if all of the requirements of Article V of the Constitution were met and the Second Amendment was repealed?
I would ignore the repeal as though it didn't happen - because in MY nation, that is a God given right to protect myself, my family, and my possessions; government did not give me that right, government has no rights to give; hence cannot legally or constitutionally TAKE THEM AWAY.
What would you do if the Second Amendment was effectively repealed by a US Supreme Court ruling that the right to bear arms does apply to an individual, but only individuals in a m*****a?
I would ignore the repeal as though it didn't happen - because in MY nation, that is a God given right to protect myself, my family, and my possessions; government did not give me that right, government has no rights to give; hence cannot legally or constitutionally TAKE THEM AWAY.
If the defense of the Second Amendment rests in reference to the Constitution as it stands now, what argument would you use if the Constitution was changed to no longer protect the individual right to bear arms?
I would ignore the repeal as though it didn't happen - because in MY nation, that is a God given right to protect myself, my family, and my possessions; government did not give me that right, government has no rights to give; hence cannot legally or constitutionally TAKE THEM AWAY.
As a law abiding gun owner, would you give up your guns?
Absolutely not......they are the only protection I have and the fact that our government is NOT what it is supposed to be nor is it made up of wise persons, makes owning guns even more necessarily than a short 4 years ago.
What do you think would happen to violent crime rates, accidental shootings and suicides?
If innocent law-abiding citizens give up their weapons, crime rates will soar, accidental shootings will still occur, and suicides could go either way.
Would you follow the new law of the land that was legitimately established, just as laws allowing the possession of a firearm have been legitimately established?
NO, I would not. This government is operating unconstitutionally, if not illegally, and it has no constitutional authority to make me a s***e to either itself OR to criminals.
What would each of YOUR answers be?

I have never heard of Paul Heroux before your post, I had to Google him, and he's been a state rep for 3+ years.... granted, he is from a different county (Bristol) but still, I read a lot, and never heard of him, that should speak to his relevance.
My answers would be identical to yours. 👍👍👍

Yeah, I had to hunt for him too. It seems on the surface that he is on the side of the 2nd Amendment, but is unsure of how he would v**e.

If he's pro gun control, I agree with you. Somehow I get the impression he plans to v**e according to the answers he receives in the mail to these questions. Who knows what a politician is going to do........he's going to do what puts HIM in the best position within the government and money.

Me, too. I googled US reps and got nothing......went to the state and found him there. Have no quams......the feds will do this the instant they think they can get away with it. We cannot let them get away with removing rights they never had to give, and certainly have no right to steal from us.

Btw, I forgot to welcome you. Happy to see you on OPP. It's always good to meet others who don't despise the US Constitution. Again, welcome!

He holds the typical Ivy League degrees...of course we know that that doesn't mean too much.
Heroux is known for his knowledge of crime policy, government performance measurement, mental health advocacy, and Middle East affairs.
I simply don't know enough about him to know how he would v**e, but if he's a typical Mass. politician, we could make an educated guess lol.

Glad you did some research on him. I did none. I'd never heard the name, but from Mass. what would on expect?
:lol: :lol: :lol:

Strange how a Mass. state rep would ask these questions, and not an Illinois state rep. Chicago has more shootings in a month than Boston has in a year.

I have wondered if in Chicago murder is a matter of fitting in, part of the welcome wagon, so to speak.
