Because gunz r' bad don't you know.Dumbasses probably didn’t know what they were dealing with. But why did The State prosecute?
If they damaged the gun/mag it's pretty obvious that this was tampering and not a cursory investigation of the firearm.
Im curious to see what happens to the Cops in this case for falsifying evidence...Or is this another case of " We investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing.
If you read the post, the lower was built into a pistol. AR Pistols with detachable magazines are assault weapons, not under Healey made up sh*t, but under the law. Insertion of the department 30rd mag showed it had a "detachable" magazine. You then had a lot of evil featuresBravo sir. Bravo.
Was the prosecution arguing using the law, or the Healy edict? From the post, it sounds as if they were using her interpretation of the law? That would make it the first time?

1) over 50oz
2) magazine outside grip
3) copy of full automatic
4) possibly threaded barrel, we dont have enough info
5) possibly foregrip for off hand, not enough info
Any two and you have an assault weapon under original federal law incorporated into MA law.
From the 1994 AWB:
No detachable magazine, no assault weapon.
Not so for District Court. Norfolk County has District Courts in Wrentham, Stoughton, Dedham and Quincy (may be others, just these are ones that I know of and have been in on business), so the towns are divvied up for each courthouse.covers all of Norfolk county

Probably the same ADA and MSP Ballistics "expert" I dealt with, both great at making non-crimes sound like real crimes.Dumbasses probably didn’t know what they were dealing with. But why did The State prosecute?
Absolutely. This was a setup to punish him regardless of anything else he may have done.No, I get that part. What I meant was, the pd was going after the guy for what was actual law, not Healy’s thing.(even though they were dead wrong, and in my opinion, criminally manufacturing evidence by destroying the fixed magazine and inserting rheir own.)
At worst, I hope the defendant can mount a unified defenseFurther charges are pending, and I would assume one of those charges is what led to the initial arrest, and the discovery of the firearm in question, upon confiscation for the other charges.
The way to do that is to reduce them to the sitcom level of "one bullet issued. Use it wisely".We need Rights Enforcement Agencies to combat(or replace) the blatantly illegal and aggressive Law Enforcement Agencies. Cops are supposed to be the good guys. Hell, I’d be a cop if the law was about justice but it doesn’t seem that way these days. Seems to be more about enforcing beurocratic “rules”.
Dumbasses probably didn’t know what they were dealing with. But why did The State prosecute?
So they are enforcing the Healy ban now?

Joe Morgan is a stand-up dude. There are FFL's in MA that are willing to send some ignorant dummy down 495 with "permanently altered" 30 round magazines with 10 round governors put in with electrical tape by their "gun smith".
Joe did his research, checked with the right people and worked around to make a legit MA ok option for us. To hear that Joe paid the guys legal fees just reinforces my opinion of him. Rock solid character there.
This shit right here is part of the reason I like the DSI fixed mag lower. Sure they could do the same shit with that, but it's harder to argue that the magazine is detachable when there's no mag catch milled out at all.
But this is absolutely tampering and someone should go to jail for it!

Getting the "its detachable" thrown out was critical. Had it been a rifle and been otherwise MA compliant, you would have been down to Maura-land violation. Because it was a pistol, if detachable, real violation.
Good job defending this.
And wander freely in gen popNo, the police should be IMPRISONED for falsifying evidence.
Nope I was wondering the same.I know it probably can’t be discussed right now because of pending cases, but am I the only one wondering how this person ended up with this charge against him?
any more info on this case?
