I've got ten years left. I'm too far in to turn back now.This is turning into an excuse to buy a house in NH and get stuff that’s more killy. We are not the same.

That is why all the talk of pinning stocks, brakes - it is all quite secondary to the reality how police is told to operate.I was told Healey issues , one licensing guy was pushing the issue of how it was purchased and registered after 2016
Obama and Holder clearly did…..It's almost as if MA AG's have stock in gun shops and are just trying to inflate prices and increase business with scare tactics lol
Yup. This why I asked how many valid LTC holders have been actually prosecuted for AWB and mag violations when thier shit is compliant. I don’t ever foresee myself getting into trouble and losing my shit to the police but I always wonder when I’m driving to and from the range if I get pulled over will the cop go full retard and want to get into my shit?? Guess I could always beat it with a non-consent to a searchIs it bad that I don’t give a f*** about this shit anymore? Do your best to stay out of trouble, check your risk tolerance, and live, laugh, love.
Almost doesn't count, especially in the struggle for freedom.This.
According to this horse-puckey, you're in for a penny, in for a pound: you'll get "prosecuted" for a pinned stock OR an unpinned one.
I HOPE someone takes that cheese. I HOPE a CoP tries to test that. I HOPE the AG pushes this. It'll just make the whole house of cards fall faster. Almost makes me want to go out and buy an AR simply so I can keep that daft plastic stock unpinned...
Almost.
Anything gun-related is a risk in this state. For example, remember the FA10 leak a few months ago? There were guns under my name that I sold long ago, as well as guns missing that I have FA10s for - both could get me in trouble if someone went looking, and yet everything has been done by the book, although I'd go bankrupt proving it. MA sucks, I'm counting down the days till I move.I’m going to say no. I think there are plenty of gun owners who said F*** ensuring my AR is “compliant” and is “registered” after the 2016 bullshit.
But as others here have alluded, do at your own risk.
I live a boring life so I hope my guns will never be scrutinized. But nothing is definite in life I realize.

I would get harangued whenever I stated this in the past. This forum is full of pussies.This is why our side should set up a professional activist whose job is to intentional draw a case against themselves. None of that would matter to them short of going to prison because they are being taken care of. The left does this all the time, the right needs to learn how to do it.
That is like asking how long is a piece of string. When Silverglate's book was written over a decade ago, even more ways of felony charging have been devised. There's no way of determining how many felonies are actually on the books now because you can have an orgy or gangbang of charges, when combined, automatically elevate the charge from a misdemeanor. We're probably up to at least 10x/day by 2023.Name them.
ETA: FWIW I understand the larger point you are trying to make. Ayn Rand/No way to govern honest men, Lavrentiy Beria/Show me the man and I'll show you the crime, et al.
Ya but the attorney(s) are not always right. In a civil trial we were begged by our counsel and the plaintiffs lawyer to take the deal and we went to court anyway for a judges decision. No jury for the plaintiff to cry at and say we were mean to her.Nope.
Attorney will tell client - you have been offered a deal. Take it, there is no telling what a court will decide and persons who insist on a trial because they honestly believe they are innocent tend to be severely punished by the court for doing so. There are lots of prison cells occupied by people offered no jail time deals. Client will fold.
Name them.

Good read
This has no basis in law.The AG is staking out a position that an MA defined AW cannot be "made compliant". Note slide #36 from the dealer training:
View attachment 735793
If I’m correct they tossed the Worman case because basically it didn’t affect anybody, no one was prosecuted over the Notice. This essentially put Healy in check. Maybe the new AG is that extreme and will try and prosecute a MA compliant rifle. Hopefully the whole AWB is smacked down nationally as soon as possible. It’s the only way to put a stop to this bs.This has no basis in law.
The position is likely "If the ATF can use 'once a machine gun, always a machine gun' logic, so can we with AWs'This has no basis in law.
If the goal was to take AR15's off the gun store shelves in MA, it was 100% effective. A bit less so in taking stripped lowers off the market, but 95%+ of shops won't tough those either, even though they are not firearms, rifles or shotguns under MGL.If I’m correct they tossed the Worman case because basically it didn’t affect anybody, no one was prosecuted over the Notice.

With the push now on dealers and police training is it only a matter of time before a valid LTC holder in AWB compliance gets jammed up?If the goal was to take AR15's off the gun store shelves in MA, it was 100% effective.

It's already happened im sure, likely more than once. Like a keystone cop overcharging someone etc. Has nothing to do with this guidance and everything to do with the fact that there's a contingent of first class douchebags in some PDs in this state.With the push now on dealers and police training is it only a matter of time before a valid LTC holder in AWB compliance gets jammed up?
Or a medical emergency....My guess is that most of these gun owners getting jammed up had some crazy ex girlfriends or ex wives. Just a complete wild ass guess/assumption
Comm2a is always on the lookout for good cases, but baggage can cause problems.I would hope the few that manage to get into the states crosshairs, would/could be helped financially and represented by Comm2a’s attorneys. I think many other gun owners would donate to help with their legal fees to fight this BS
Well maybe assuming they’re not a POS and didn’t, for example, abuse their wife or kids and now their guns are under the microscope.
Then there is the "likeability" factor. The best plaintiff are ones with no baggage - such as someone with no convictions or charges being told "prove they are not AWs" to get their guns back who does not have a series of calls for domestic issues to their house. While technically these should not affect the case, it is easier for the court to concentrate on the issues when the don't see someone who "obviously should not possess a gun" as the petitioner.
I’m not saying I agree with the laws in Ma but it would be a felony for the dealer if they didn’t complyI'm not going to Out the dealer but I just bought a handgun from another state and the dealer I picked said they would do the transfer IF it was "Ma. Compliant " so the state has trained the FFL's to do their work for them. I'm not blaming the dealer but blaming the attitude the AG office has instilled in the people, dealers and LE's into doing what they want. This Mother May I is and always be are downfall .
Are you volunteering or one of the pussies?I would get harangued whenever I stated this in the past. This forum is full of pussies.
Excellent points. One thing that cannot be compromised on are plaintiff who are put at legal risk by filing a case (example already cited).I understand the importance of this “likeability” factor but I do think though that sometimes there is too much focus placed on finding the “perfect” plaintiff ....
