Firearm owners should avoid travel to Massachusetts and consider moving if they already live there, according to a gun rights organization concerned about a gun control bill making its way through the state legislature.

"If Massachusetts makes House Docket 4420 law, Massachusetts will become the most anti-gun state in the country," Austin Hein, the director of political operations for the National Association for Gun Rights, told Fox News. 

"What Massachusetts is clearly trying to do here is basically repeal the Second Amendment as we know it," he added.

The 140-page omnibus bill, An Act of Modernizing Firearm Laws, makes sweeping changes to Massachusetts gun laws. This includes mandating that all firearms and feeding devices be registered, banning people under 21 from buying or carrying a semi-automatic shotgun or rifle, banning concealed carry of firearms on private property unless expressly permitted and much more.

"This is real bad news for any gun owner that lives in Massachusetts," Hein said. "Basically, pack your bags and leave because it's untenable if this thing passes."

The National Association for Gun Rights issued a travel advisory for anyone who lives in Massachusetts or is traveling to Massachusetts because of the bill last week. 

The bill also cracks down on firearm-adjacent areas including banning targets with human silhouettes at ranges, banning people under the age of 18 from possessing mace or pepper spray and adding stun guns under the definition of firearms. 

"So what this bill will actually do is prohibit a young high school girl from being able to defend herself with even mace," Hein said. 

"I think the states are trying to ban stun guns because I honestly think they just want to leave you defenseless," he added. 

Hein also slammed the requirement for gun owners to register their firearms and magazines. 

"Registration leads to confiscation," Hein said. "If you are putting yourself on a government list of what firearms you own and how many you own best be sure that the government is going to be knocking on your door one day."

Hein added that he thinks a provision in the bill would create a stop and frisk-like policy to become law.

"The bill also goes so far as to allow law enforcement to demand that you show your permit without cause," Hein said. "That's basically a stop and frisk policy, which is another anti-gun policy."

Stop and frisk without reasonable suspicion is unconstitutional.

In Obama’s own words, “The Constitution is a charter of negative liberties”.

And that’s why they hate it.
