Civil Rights Coalition Argues State OverreachThe Civil Rights Coalition says the state is using taxpayer dollars to "take away your Second Amendment rights" by funding opposition to the ballot question. The Civil Rights Coalition calls Chapter 135 "unconstitutional" and an attempt to disarm citizens of Massachusetts.
