WARNING WESTFORD RESIDENTS

These firearms will be BANNED at

TOWN MEETING on 3/23

Unless YOU SHOW UP

Westford Selectmen want to pass the following Law:

No person shall sell, transfer, or possess any assault weapons, large capacity weapons*, machine guns or large capacity feeding devices, regardless of the date of manufacture, within the Town of Westford.

Any person in lawful possession of any firearm prohibited by this bylaw shall have a period of ninety days from the effective date to lawfully remove it from the town or to surrender possession to the Chief of Police.

*A “large capacity weapon” is ANY firearm that CAN accept a “large capacity feeding device”

What does this mean for YOU?

Banned: all shotguns which can hold more than 5 rounds

Banned: all handguns and rifles which can accept a magazine capable of holding more than 10 rounds.

– This would include most semi automatics regardless of the magazine you are using

Banned: All magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds

– There will be no grandfathering

– The fines are $100 for first offense, $200 second offense, $300 third offense

I did not think the state of MA allowed individual counties to have special gun laws except for the “no discharge of firearms” within city limits. Think of the nightmare this will be if each town, city or county started having their own laws, besides state laws. Talk about trapping a law abiding citizen and turning him into a criminal!

***Correction.  We listed the incorrect date for the meeting in the email we sent out.  We were given an incorrect date of 2/29.  It appears the meeting will be held today (2/20).  We apologize for the error and the late notice of this event. 

 

Town of Westford Moving Forward with Unprecedented Gun Ban

      

Westford Selectman, Bob Jeffries, has proposed a bylaw that will significantly affect the 2nd Amendment rights of the residents of Westford.    If the bylaw passes it will do the following:

  • Ban all firearms that accept a magazine.
  • This affects firearms used by law abiding citizens for the purpose of home defense, self-defense, small game hunting, sporting, target shooting, and competition shooting.
  • Owners would have 90 days to remove all banned firearms from town or surrender them to the police.
  • Violators may be penalized by indictment or complaint in district court.
  • Violators would face a fine of $100 for first offense, $200 for second, and $300 for third. 

If this bylaw passes it will affect all Mass residents by setting a dangerous precedent other towns are sure to follow. 

 

What you can do?

The bylaw will be discussed on February 20th at 7:30 pm at the Stony Brook School at 9 Farmer Way, Westford, MA.

This meeting is the last chance the residents of Westford have to remove this bylaw. 

We encourage all Mass residents to show up for this meeting.
