Handgun Insurance Bill

how the HELL do they ever expect that to pass! i skimmed through, and if i read this right, they want all handguns covered by a 250k insurance policy, and be voice activated?!


wtf am i, judge dredd?
 
I wonder if any of the libs in eastern Mass will recognize how discriminatory this bill would be when you simply consider the cost of the insurance?
 
It is all this guy's fault!

WTF is this?!?!

250THOUSAND dollars insurance?! That'll cost more per year than the damn gun is worth (value wise, not protection wise).

Jasper: voice is just one of the types of locks allowed. key, combination, fiingerprint, and some others IIRC are allowed.

IANAL
 
How did IL's million dollar insurance package work out?

Let me guess whoever is sponsoring this is getting some insurance kick backs...
 
The insurance policy shall
be in an amount of at least $250,000 and shall list the specific weapons covered by the policy.
The list presented to the licensing authority shall match the list on the insurance policy or the
license or renewal shall not issue. In the event that a holder of a license to carry acquires a new
handgun after the issuance of the license or the renewal of an existing license, the holder shall
register the weapon as required by law and shall forward to the licensing authority a true copy of
a certificate of insurance verifying the existence of insurance, as required herein, for said new
weapon or weapons within thirty days of acquisition.

Seems pretty reasonable.
 
Can somebody translate Section 10E there, on page 5? It talks about some pretty hefty fines and prison terms for "Whoever, except as provided by law, in a single transaction or occurrence or in a series of transactions within a twelve month period" sells more than 3 guns. They don't really go into what "except as provided by law" means. I assume that this is just another silly, pointless provision to punish people selling guns off the books, and has no affect on FTF FA-10 transfers?

I would allow this to pass, if they made me a hand gun that can change from flare, semi auto, full auto, shotgun, taser, ice bullet, sonic discharge and chocolate milkshake by way of voice command

Total guess here but I am thinking the only exemption will be for a death, loss of license, etc and will NOT apply to your average person. Looks like they want to lock us into 3 a year as well. This would effectively stop the scary, dangerous, crazy run on purchasing guns since the messiah has been elected. After all, many of these guns are going to commit crimes and go off by themselves.
 
Chapter 269: Section 10E. Firearms sales, distributions or transfers; penalties; eligibility for probation, parole, furlough or work release


Section 10E. Whoever, except as provided by law, in a single transaction or occurrence or in a series of transactions within a twelve month period, knowingly or intentionally distributes, sells, or transfers possession of a quantity of firearms, rifles, shotguns, machine guns, or any combination thereof, shall, if the quantity of firearms, rifles, shotguns, machine guns, or any combination thereof is:

(1) Three or more, but less than ten, be punished by a term of imprisonment of not more than ten years in the state prison. No sentence imposed under the provisions of this paragraph shall be for less than a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of three years and a fine of not more than fifty thousand dollars may be imposed but not in lieu of the mandatory minimum term of imprisonment, as established herein.

(2) Ten or more, but less than twenty, be punished by a term of imprisonment of not more than ten years in the state prison. No sentence imposed under the provisions of this paragraph shall be for less than a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of five years and a fine of not more than one hundred thousand dollars may be imposed but not in lieu of the mandatory minimum term of imprisonment, as established herein.

(3) Twenty or more, be punished by a term of imprisonment not less than ten years up to life imprisonment in the state prison.

A prosecution commenced under this section shall not be placed on file or continued without a finding, and the sentence imposed upon a person convicted of violating any provision of said section shall not be reduced to less than the mandatory minimum term of imprisonment as established in said section, nor shall any sentence of imprisonment imposed upon any person be suspended or reduced until such person shall have served said mandatory minimum term of imprisonment.

A person convicted of violating any provision of this section shall not, until he shall have served the mandatory minimum term of imprisonment established herein, be eligible for probation, parole, furlough, work release, or receive any deduction from his sentence for good conduct under sections one hundred and twenty-nine, one hundred and twenty-nine C and one hundred and twenty-nine D of chapter one hundred and twenty-seven; provided, however, that the commissioner of corrections may, on the recommendation of the warden, superintendent, or other person in charge of the correctional institution, grant to said offender a temporary release in the custody of an officer of such institution for the following purposes: to attend the funeral of a relative, to visit a critically ill relative, or to obtain emergency medical or psychiatric services unavailable at said institution. The provisions of section eighty-seven of chapter two hundred and seventy-six shall not apply to any person, seventeen years of age or over, charged with a violation of said sections, or to any child between the age of fourteen and seventeen, so charged, if the court is of the opinion that the interests of the public require that he shall be tried for such offense instead of being dealt with as a child.

Not exactly. Currently C140S131K requires handguns (MA firearms) and "large capacity weapons" to be sold with some kind of lock. Section 6 of the proposed legislation expands that to all weapons.

The proposed legislation appears to add 2 years to the mandatory sentences for illegally selling guns.
 
Everyone complaining should get up and do something.
If you're not heard by people who are making the decisions on this, it's useless to complain.
