If Comm2A wins this lawsuit, the result will apply to everyone. From the prayer for relief: "An order permanently enjoining the defendant ATTORNEY GENERAL, her officers, agents, servants, employees, and all persons in active concert or participation with her from enforcing 940 CMR §16.05(3)."
If you want to see more cases like this, donate early and often.

SAF SEEKS INJUNCTION AGAINST MASS. HANDGUN SALES REGULATIONS
BELLEVUE, WA – The Second Amendment Foundation, joined by Commonwealth Second Amendment, Inc., two commercial dealers and six private citizens, filed a lawsuit today in federal court in Massachusetts, seeking an injunction against the State Attorney General’s enforcement of state consumer protection regulations that prevent the commercial sale of certain semiautomatic handguns.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court, asserts that the regulation requiring a “load indicator” on a semiautomatic handgun is “unconstitutionally vague and ambiguous” because it does not define what this device is, or what it is intended to do.
“We’re asking the court to put a stop to what we believe is arbitrary enforcement of the regulation, because it deems 3rd and 4th generation Glock pistols lack an ‘effective load indicator’ device,” said SAF Founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. “How can anyone design something when there is no description, or explanation of exactly what such a device is supposed to do and how it is supposed to do it?”
SAF General Counsel Miko Tempski, coincidentally a Glock factory certified armorer, added, “Our individual plaintiffs want to buy Glock pistols and our retail plaintiffs would be delighted to sell the firearms, but the regulation is being enforced by Attorney General Martha Coakley with no real foundation, because there are no specifics about the device in the regulation. Essentially, it appears the enforcement is pretty much on a whim.
“If the interpretation of the regulation is unclear to the AG’s office and to experts,” Tempski added, “no reasonable person in Massachusetts can know which guns are allowed.”
Adding to the dilemma, according to the lawsuit, is the fact that the 3rd and 4th generation Glock pistols at the center of the dispute have an extractor-based load indicator that reveals at a glance whether there is a cartridge in the chamber. This is virtually identical to extractor-based load indicators on competing pistols from other manufacturers, all of which are legal in Massachusetts.
“We’re hopeful that we can get this resolved rather quickly because the way the regulation is currently being enforced makes absolutely no sense at all,” Gottlieb stated.

Not really . I got what I wanted but it would of been cool to have my name on some thing going after the ag.
Nice job Comm2A.
Not beating a dead horse at all. Moving a case through the system is expensive. You have to plan for fighting on different levels. It does no good to win at the initial level and then not have the funds to fight when the other side appeals. Coakley and her stooges have an ATM called "the taxpayers." We don't have that luxury.
A steady monthly donation lets COMM2A plan for these fights, knowing that there's a steady stream of money coming in. Your donations are tax deductible. When I file my taxes the only part that makes me smile is entering the amount I've donated to COMM2A.
They need, and deserve, our support.
Already a gold sponsor. Wish I could do platinum but money is tight right now, but I will still toss a few extra bucks your way tomorrow cause this put a big grin on my face! Keep up the good fight.
