February 4, 2016 Update:

Town Meeting Members will be voting on the article without knowing what the actual language of  the law will be.

Here is the actual language of what is officially known as Article 34. (note, there are no details)

Article 34: AMEND GENERAL BYLAWS – GUNS
(Citizen Article)

More Information:

Lexington Town Meeting Member Robert Rotberg has initiated an attack on the Second Amendment.

Rotberg initiated a citizen's petition (article) modeled after the Highland Park IL gun ban. If passed, this article would ban many commonly owned firearms and magazines in the town of Lexington. Currently the town of Lexington has over 800 residents who are duly licensed to own firearms. Should this article become law it would affect an untold amount of firearms, which are currently legally owned.

To stop this article from becoming law, it must be voted down by Lexington's town meeting members at the Annual Town Meeting.

The annual town meeting is scheduled for March 21, 2016 at 7:30 PM in the Carey Memorial Building, 1605 Massachusetts Ave, Lexington, MA 02420.

Lexington residents need to contact their town meeting members and urge them to vote NO on Mr. Rotberg's article.

If you are a resident of Lexington, please contact your town meeting representative and urge them to vote NO on the Article 34.

See contact info for town meeting members below. 

Plan on attending town meeting March 21, 2016 and speaking out against this attack on our Second Amendment.

Dear Editor;

I see the Sun Chronicle has, for the second time in three days, exhorted enactment of the so called “Replica Gun Bill.” It does so by assuring us that:

This is not about real guns. Let us make that clear.

In fact, the bill was so shoddily drafted, it would have greatly affected “real guns.” That is why it was opposed, to this paper’s annoyance, by Gun Owners Action League and many concerned gun owners.

The bill was sent to the Judiciary Committee for review. Why? Because there was an excellent chance the bill ran afoul of existing Federal law; 18 USC § 921(16(B) – Definitions. Under that law, functioning replica guns which are copies of antique guns, are EXCLUDED from inclusion by law from being treated as modern arms. Such replicas are commonly seen here at Revolutionary and Civil War events, as well as “cowboy” and “primitive” shooting competitions. This bill would affect all those replica guns, their owners, and those events.
