Mass. town decides Federal government knows best

“WESTFORD (MyFoxBoston.com) -- The Westford Board of Selectmen voted unanimously on Wednesday night to withdraw a potential ban on assault weapons and magazines.

“The decision was made without debate or discussion. Some of the selectmen tell FOX 25 they feel this matter is best left to the federal government.

“Last week, residents packed Town Hall to discuss the measure that would have banned certain weapons deemed to be ‘dangerous and unusual’ within the town, the Lowell Sun reports. The ban would have extended to large-capacity weapons and feeding devices. If the bylaw passed, residents would either have to remove the weapons from the town or surrender them to police.”
