LOL, wait until you see the sh*t Maura has planned for Massachusetts. Don’t worry, though, you may get your rights back 10 years later when the lawsuits make their way to SCOTUS. Well, your kids may get those rights back, you’re likely going to be killed during a home invasion or run over by a dreamer speeding in their car to another town to try and vote for the 4th time that day. your estate will be sued by the 14 people in the other car who have extensive soft-tissue injury.

the copycat AWB was effective overnight, and still in place 8 years later.
MA gun laws have had their boot on our necks for decades and Maura will do everything to make it worse.

Absolutely.

My point, though - and it's something of a pet peeve of mine - is it seems to be a Massachusetts trait (especially the east) to make everything about Massachusetts. The context was an organization that has nothing to do with firearms, but I sent this to my friend Collin, subject: It's Funny Cuz It's True:

OH NOES I CANT BUY A NEW, neutered AK AT DELI TICKET EMPORIUM!!!!! STOP THE PRESSES. [rofl]

Its almost like you guys enjoy stewing in your own misery. Like you're not satisfied if you're not 110% miserable.

Meanwhile in the real world not much has functionally changed in MA gun law since 1998. . Well, outside of the fact that we have 6 yr licenses, and don't have restrictions
anymore.....
 
I believe that there are about 80,000 “assault rifles “ registered in CT…..so they know where they are. Create 80,000 felons with the stroke of a pen.

Yup, you are right, sometimes I think gun owners look for ways to be miserable.

As for CT…….

I remember back in 78 when I first moved from CT to MA, I was barely 20 years old and only owned a few .22 rifles. They had big signs at the MA state line reading “One Year Minimum Jail Sentence for Unregistered Firearm” or words to that effect.

My father who was helping me move freaked out and headed straight to the local MA PD. The local PD stored my guns at the station while I applied for my FID card which came in a few weeks and I got my guns back.

Back then CT had very unrestrictive gun laws. All the talk was how strict MA gun laws were. Then the Kennedy’s faded away, and Sandy Hook happened and it morphed into something I thought I would never see. And that is CT being a worse place for gun ownership that MA.
 
One day these people will realize that compliance is voluntary. Any of you have a 6 year old? Ever want them to shut up? You can punish them, but if they don't want to shut up they wont shut up. Am I saying that we should all act like 6 year olds? We sure as hell are being treated as such.

Watch how fast I leave MA if MH pushes forward with crap like this. I was heading to FL/GA/SC/NC/TN in a few years anyway. It will just be a little earlier than I planned if they pull anything. It's sort of like taxes... go ahead, keep raising taxes. All you will do is drive those with means away and then your tax base is lower and you end up with less money.

As to CT, eff them. Other than to go to the casinos to catch a concert once a year or drive South on I95 to some other destination, I see no reason to ever set foot in CT. I'll never live there nor work. As it is, I begrudge MA every dollar they get from me and in a few years, that will be significantly lower...

What are the magic powers that maura has that make her different from the last half dozen or so shitty governors we had? (btw, some of them were 90% grade moonbats, like Deval Patrick)

Hint: "cuz she hates guns.... a lot" isnt a magic power.

Honestly if you want something to actually get concerned about, start thinking revenue grabs long before gun grabs
 
From the article:
New Haven University Associate Professor Michael Lawlor, a former criminal justice advisor to then-Gov. Dannel Malloy, argued Wednesday that the state could adopt a law making a previously legal product illegal.

However, Lawlor said an absolute ban was not seriously considered in part because it would have been difficult to pass.

“This grandfather clause, in every case, was a compromise with people who were objecting to the new law,” Lawlor said. “The argument that was persuasive to some people was, ‘They legally acquired these things and now you’re going to outlaw them. Isn’t that confiscating property without compensation?’ It’s not, but that’s what they were arguing.”

I have a couple of ARs declared in CT. I bought them when they said they were going to pass this law. If they hadn't passed the law, I would have stuck with my .22 rifles, my revolvers and a 1911.

9 years later, I still have those AR's. Since I moved to GA, I acquired a "couple" more.

Lamont can kiss my ass.
 
...and we're right back to Twoshits.

My mother had the TeeVeeNooz on in the kitchen, and as I walked by it was the Tong and Lamont Show on why GunzRBad. Right at the moment, we're discussing a Connecticut problem. Likely to get worse, as I'm sure even if BobStef managed to pull something remotely looking like an upset, Bridgepuertorico would manage to "find" boxes of magic ballots.

Sort of academic to me, as my residency of Connecticut isn't likely to see the end of 2023. Nevertheless.

(Sigh.) I have to laugh a bit, even at the "Nuke Boston" thread. Well, sure, greater Boston has around five million people, and some significant tech resources, especially biomed/biotech. But not factories. Those tech things are intellectual property and exist in people's brains and on servers replicated worldwide.

Versus, say, the New York Metropolitan Area, spanning from northern Noo Joizey up to where my ass is parked presently. TWENTY MILLION souls. And Joizey's infamous chem plants that make the place a stinkpot. Oh, and a bit to the east is a place called Groton. Home to a concern called General Dynamics Electric Boat. Know what they make there? Those things called nuclear submarines. Why am I thinking all of these things might make more interesting targets?
