Has anyone else seen this:

The loophole in the Mass. assault weapons ban - The Boston Globe

Healy is prohibiting gun stores from selling MA compliant rifles (ex. pinned stock, no flash suppressor/bayonet lug, etc). These rifles have been sold in Mass for years and none of these liberals even batted an eye. Now all of a sudden they're a public safety concern?? I'd love to see the stats on how many rifles have been used in the commission of crimes in MA since the AWB took hold in '94.

Not to mention how does she have the authority to do this without going through the legislature. These MA compliant rifles fall well within the AWB the way it is written. This directive is nothing short of a usurpation of the legislative process.

Funny that she admits AWB in place in MA for the past 20 years does nothing to reduce the "lethalness" of "assault weapons". Leave it to a politician to propose a solution to a non-existent problem.

My guess if she can't get something rammed through the legislature is to enact some more "consumer protection" bullshit.

 

[Pvt. Cowboy]

She needs to get her ass sued, and dragged through court for banning a weapon in "common use."

Fuck her, and her draconian BULLSHIT.

New Hampshire sounds better and better the more I stay on here

While i' d love to see a large gun organization sue this state and win, bc it needs to happen but realistically it's mass and it won't happen.

This makes my blood boil. I'm glad I picked up two stripped lowers in January though. I'm going to make them as evil as I can

I don't even know what to say...............

I Do!......................
The Federal AWB lasted a decade and sunsetted. The Massachusetts AWB as adopted, mirrored the parameters of the the federal ban that died. There IS data from DOJ that show the AWB had no real effect on Crime. The Mass AWB has been in force for nearly TWO DECADES!

So suddenly Maura Hitler is smarter than the Data from DOJ, the U.S. Congress and Mass Legislatures combined experience, and the SCOTUS? And she'll use her newfound "logic" to "re-interpret the laws that have stood the tests of over two decades by those bodies? WOW! is she some form of mega-maniac or what?

Yes.

Fuck SSPO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Assault Weapons Ban Enforcement

So does this mean sworn leo can not purchase an AR-15? What about an out of state purchase of one? Private sale? I was planning to purchase one before the end of the summer detail season

Many flock to gun shops after state warning on copycat assault weapons

AG Maura Healey's warning to gun dealers in Massachusetts against selling banned assault weapons, including copycat weapons, prompted a busy day for gun shops.

 

[Pvt. Cowboy]

I hope to God, for your sakes, that organizations like Comm2a, and Goal sue the ever loving shit outta this draconian bitch. Fuck her.

Negativewe're still exempt. But you'll need to find a dealer that's not afraid of the AG to sell you one

Try going to Atlantic Tactical in Westwood, they only sell to LE so you shouldn't have any issues. They sell non MA compliant stuff so you can get whatever you want. Good prices too

 

[Sgt Jack]

I just picked up some extra mags for my M&P Shield from Bay State Firearms in Peabody. They told me that the Leo exception was still good but they were waiting for things to cool down a bit before they sold anything. I already have an AR but I definitely want a few more goodies.

Just came from there. The normally loaded rifle racks were almost bare haha.

 

[pahapoika]

Crap !
Should have listened to the gun nuts at the local shop.
Kept telling me to buy a stripped lower and build something for later on.
Thing looked like a paperweight , but I'm sure they're all worth big money now

 

[Pvt. Cowboy]

I'm gonna start a business, selling rifles across the border. Because fuck Healy.

 

[PPD54]

So....aren't all weapons "assault" weapons if you want to split hairs? I mean otherwise they would be weapons if you couldn't use it to assault someone.
