however, height restrictions is 6'-3". You can find street parking on Beacon Street too.
that is the unintended consequence of this whole Healy fiasco. Gun owners in MA are one of the most peaceful, careful, safety conscious, law abiding bunch anywhere in the world. But if suddenly EVERYONE of them is being treated as a potential felon.....why would we continue to act that way.....i.e. obeying the laws without question? This is potentially opening up a huge Pandora's box.
Spoke with 3 friends yesterday who are not shooters or gun owners. All three were apalled by the AG's action and all said they would call or email their reps and senators yesterday evening (each is in a different district and none are in my district). As I talk with people about this I'm seeing more and more people agreeing with our side. Keep calling and talking and push this issue!
Green line should be cheaper than that unless you're taking the commuter rail too.

I was figuring 4 bucks each way, times two people, plus 9 bucks for the parking at the T station.
Hey, if you are there today and it's open, pick up a "Massachusetts Gun Laws" poster at the Statehouse Bookstore.
One of my rounds of emails said essentially that, that if they don't fix this this session they are condoning it through inaction, and sending a STRONG message to everyone (not just gun owners) that if the law(s) is vague and subject to interpretation there really is no point in following it if it can change overnight...even after decades-

As stated earlier in the thread, this will roll the clock back to July 19, 2016. It will also prevent Healey, or any other AG of the future from changing laws like she did. It also provides protection from prosecution for gun owners, as screwed up as that sounds considering we broke no laws, but there it is.
This. It provides legislators "cover" to support the bill and still appeal to their moonbat base. "Well, while I didn't like the entire bill, it provides increased penalties for those who commit gun crimes and makes us all safer." It doesn't really make anyone safer, but it gives the appearance of doing so.
And it does appear to rectify the recent idiocy of our AG and prevent it from occurring in the future.

Exactly, it's all about talking points with the professional politicians.
The good news is, that it's an election year and we will remember in November should this not be brought to the floor and passed.
Received an email from Mr. Tarr the other day. He's a Gloucester native like myself and we all know each other in some way or form. He will be keeping up the fight for us. Have faith and a bit of patience.

Patience is exactly something we do not have the luxury of affording right now. If this doesn't get a vote today or tomorrow, it will need to be refiled when the legislature reconvenes in February, I think.
We have to push while we have the time. If time runs out, this becomes a serious problem.
Ugh - and its already in committee.

Where are you guys seeing this? I can't find it on the legislature website.

Excellent, thank you! It won't come up when you try to search for it.
Dont really care. If it doesn't pass it becomes a courtroom fiasco, and honestly, I'm a bit down for that. You can't win rights these days without going to court, Maura herself said our awb was useless but nobody's just saying lets repeaal it for smart legislation.

We are not going to get rid of the copy cat clause, but might get a clarification that it applies to copies of guns recognized as bans by the feds 94-04 (ie, the same as the law was understood for 18 years). If we get the protection, Healey will still have accomplished her primary goal - boosting her gun ban bonafides for the klintonistas.
Negative, the enumerated list of arms had the prohibited evil features also detailed int he law. In order to copy them - you had to copy the evil features. Removal of evil features does not equal a copy.
The anti civil rights activist AG used a guidance clause under 93a to "guide us" that a semiautomatic operation equals a copy. This bill removes that guidance, and removes the ability of an AG or anyone to provide that guidance without due process.
