Chapter 135

Chapter 135 of the Acts of 2024 "An Act Modernizing Firearm Laws in the Commonwealth" was the greatest attack on civil rights in Modern U.S. History.

From historical re-enactors to hunters to semi-automatic owners, this vengeful bigoted assault on the Second Amendment community left no one unscathed.

Chapter 135 is what we now call:
"The Devil's Snare"
