The leftist war against the Second Amendment continues to intensify in the wake of several high-profile – and highly politicized – mass shootings.
Among the latest outrageous attacks on the right to bear arms came recently from a local politician in Massachusetts. Barry Greenfield, a Democrat selectman in Swampscott, wants to give law enforcement the right to enter residential homes without a warrant to make sure firearms are being stored appropriately.
“We need the ability to enforce the state law,” he explained, referring to an ordinance that restricts how firearms may be kept within a home.
Greenfield said he has already spoken with the town’s authorities, though fellow selectman Glenn Kessler expressed concerns likely echoed by Swampscott’s approximately 600 gun owners.
Kessler explained the proposal raises significant constitutionality concerns, noting he wants to hear feedback from legal experts, law enforcement professionals, and, most importantly, members of the community.
When a similar proposal began to gain traction in Washington state, similar concerns fortunately prevented any decisive action.
