Here’s a better story than the blog: http://wwlp.com/2016/05/10/2-of-3-gun-restriction-proposals-rejected-in-longmeadow/
LONGMEADOW, Mass. (WWLP) – Longmeadow voters decided on three proposals at town meeting Tuesday night, which were meant to add restrictions on gun owners and businesses. All three were rejected by a majority vote.
Residents first voted to reject Article 29, which was a bylaw that would impose fines for anyone who carried a firearm on town property.
They also voted to reject Article 30, a bylaw that would have forced gun owners to describe, in writing, each gun they own when they renew their gun license or apply for an FID card.
The other proposed article rejected, Article 31, was meant to ban assault rifles in town, and would have imposed a $300 fine for each day the gun is in town.
Some feared the bylaws took away their Second Amendment rights, while others thought the proposals would improve public safety.
Norman Spencer, who opposes gun restriction, told 22News, “A lot of this gives that away, and gives us nothing. No protection, nothing.”
Bunny Bewick, who wants tighter gun laws, said, “I am anti-weapons of mass destruction. I think that because of safety, certainly, and maybe a little moral issue in there somewhere.”
As of October of last year, there were 958 registered gun owners with a Class A license to carry in Longmeadow.
Had any of the articles passed, the proposals would have been taken to the Attorney General’s office for review.
Also Tuesday night, the town approved their FY17 budget of $62 million.
