Healey "closing the loophole" letter to gun dealers

Just an FYI if it hasnt been mentioned, Both Bravo company and PSA canceled orders on me today. PSA said not more rifle parts to MA and Bravo said no more products what so ever... Land of the FREE...

... These companies are not in it for their principles; they're money-making ventures. When MA AGs imply that items might be illegal in MA, many of these companies usually don't wait to stop doing business here. The legal risk isn't worth it for them; it's doubtful they get a huge amount of business out of MA anyway.
Been happening with ammo shipments for years now, all based on a past AG's "interpretation" of MA law.

More likely the vendors have been scared off by the changing threatening language from the AG and decided we aren't worth the trouble right now at least.

Makes me wonder if they received threats from the AG

More likely they're suspending shipments until things settle down a bit.
Perhaps avoid having to choose a more permanent consent decree.
 
I agree but don't think they would treat us with the same kid gloves used for BLM and Occupy.

Um an armed angry mob is nothing something to take lightly. They will curtesy and get you tea if we ask. This will be the biggest organizing of armed people in this state since the shot heard round the world.
 
In all seriousness, and a good part of a bottle of Bombay Saphire aside, this turns around when the white boys realize they have more in common with BLM than they have with their rulers or the cops who make the rules reality.

Shoulda stopped drinking, we pick our battles correctly. Haven't heard a peep out of those idiots over the unarmed care taker. Which is the exact type of shooting they should be indemnifying. Instead they go pop off about guys fist fighting with cops after a robbery and try and change the story so it fits their narrative. Fu(k them and fu(k you for comparing people who want to make change to a hate group.

Actually since Shay's Rebellion.
Doesn't change the point that a protest of an armed populace is not to be sneered at.
It's, after all, the purpose of the 2nd Amendment.

Lol I knew I was off base but I just woke up and couldn't think of anything more current.

My point was that if gun owners or the Tea party went on a terror rampage like BLM, Occupy, they would bring in the swat teams and riot squads. We wouldn't be given 'space to destroy' and it certainly wouldn't be reported as our 'right to protest'.
 
True, but Healey's AWB is much broader.

They would never get rid of something that only continues the feed this corrupt judicial system, especially now when theres more "clarity" to jam up upstanding citizens that they can squeeze money out of. I'm sure Judges, clerks, procecutors, lawyers, are just foaming at the mouth for Maura to start throwing the book at FFL and Citizens that are in the grey with these new interpretations. It's all a business in the end.
 
I think what he is getting at is that this is by their admission. Just like the new 'interpretation' of the AWB essentially conceding that this has only ever been about cosmetics.


Im just saying he's not paying close enough attention this state is riddled with bs and crap we have no control over. Like getting rid of tollbooths I hate that idea I don't want a tracking device installed on my car basically. Or the push to get tolls on rt 3. Or the free healthcare to illegals. There's so much rampant sh!t in this state. Idk how you can look at it and be like well they took ours gun f them. It's the whole system here. We basically had to threaten a government overthrow to get rid of the olympics which only like 6 people wanted.
 
The Hail Mary: Embrace this Healey interpretation, then argue it violates Heller by excluding a very broad category of guns in common use. Get the whole Mass AWB knocked out.

Probably a loser without the right court.

I think this is part of their plan and it explains the timing. If Scalia were still alive and Hilldog didn't have such a good shot at the presidency, Healey would have never announced this.

They're trying for a SCOTUS decision that will put this to bed forever, in their favor.

The problem is if we bundle a general AW challenge with the challenge against the Heliban, the court can issue a decision explaining why the AW ban is legal (as similar ones have been upheld by various federal courts, and SCOTUS denied cert); totally ignore the questions presented regarding the AG's actions; and issue a ruling against us.
 
I'm not a lawyer.
But am I the only one here who thinks/realizes that Healey simply saw a weakly/vaguely worded law/rule/statute/whatever and realized that no statewide or other association or legal group (GOAL/2A etc) had taken it upon themselves to forcefully and aggressively hash out and clarify the laws?

In other words, unless I'm missing something here, Healey took it upon herself to (as a good lawyer would) sit down in the aftermath of a spate of recent "gun violence" and, as any political ass-kissing dweeb would, jumped on a "hanging curveball" that had been sitting out there in the M.G.L., realizing nobody had legally clarified the section/paragraph whatever, and made a politically correct move in a moonbat state...
And issued her "directive" the other day - cuz she knew that she had checkmated the non-existent or volunteer legal teams who support the 2A?

What I'm getting at is... Shouldn't someone have seen this coming?.. that this statute is among several "hangers" just sitting out there waiting for a miserable c*nt to spend her evenings poring over the law books instead of having a poolside Corona with her wife or hanging out on the Vineyard with the rest of the Libs who actually have a life?

To a non-lawyer like me, it seems she just pulled a classic Anti move, jumped all over the Bucholz-ish hanger like A-Rod would and belted it onto the Commuter Rail tracks behind Lansdowne Street, much to the rage, anger and frustration of law abiding legal gun owner like ME.

Please correct /enlighten me if I'm wrong here..??

No, you're not.
 
This is what you continue to get when you vote "lesser of two evils". Charlie F'n Baker, just evil in a different suit

I'll vote democrat before I vote for that .... Gentleman ... again. At least the democrat is honest about his or her plan to screw us.

You're not totally wrong, but no one saw it coming because for 22 years what is and is not an assault weapon was pretty clearly defined based on the feature test. It may have been a little awkwardly worded, but precedent is a huge part of the law.
 
Please correct /enlighten me if I'm wrong here..??

Nope, I've seen that "copies and duplicates" wording as a turd on the table ever since it was part of the federal AWB. I'm surprised it took this long for somebody to attempt to take advantage of it. As soon as I started reading Healey's Boston Globe drivel the other morning, I knew exactly what she'd done.
 
She further proves that our FA10 system is indeed a registration of firearms and not a registration of transfers.

The lies and deceit in this state mixed with this new AG actions are egregious. We are not the free men our forefathers wanted. We are subjects to a corrupt system.

They can call it whatever they want but the only reason they know anything about what types of firearms you own is because of the fa10 system. Rifle, shotgun, pistol, make, model, caliber. None of that is included during the background check when you buy a firearm. When I sell a customer a gun I turn the computer to them. They fill out all their personal information and answer the questions. Then I answer a couple questions about whether they made it seem like this could be a straw purchase.Then I click go and the background check is performed. Once the check comes back, either proceed delay or deny, I enter all of the firearms information on to the form. Other than the fa10, the only other record of the actual type of firearm you purchased is recorded on the 4473 in the gun shop where you bought the gun.

Without the FA10s all the state would know is, John bought "a gun" on <date>. And they would have to contact the FBI w/ a court order to even get that data from them. In the form of a log of any BG checks run in John's name. Which technically shouldn't even exist since, according to the FBI, they "flush" that data after a certain number of days. Or so they claim.

You are completely wrong, and there is ample evidence about exactly what "copies and duplicates" means so that no legitimate court would ever side with Healey at this point in the game. It simply means Colt can't make an AR-16 to skirt the law that bans Colt AR-15s by name.
 
The answer to the AG reinterpretation is ovious. Its called an FU-MA-15.5
A new design rather than redesigned non-ar15 with new unique FCG, different buffer tube threads/gripscrew theads and grip shape,a relocation of the takedown pins so a standard ar15 upper couldnt be used, and a new rail/picitinny spacing so i can't accept standard ar15 assesories, and new magizines..

This design would be limited to 10rd mags do to lack of prebans, or an adapter could be fashion to use ar mags... unless her interpretation means "any semi auto rifle with detachable magizine"
Which to her I'm sure it does, but thats the only thing im confident would be ruled unconstitutional unless hillary is elected...but im sure the SC won't take up the case.. so ya where screwed.


Edit different bcg lenght, buffer lenght/diameter, spring lenght.. ect...


Im sure gun manufactures can over come this.

I don't think anyone could have seen this coming because the language of the Federal AWB was crystal clear and commonly understood when it was written. It was intended to ban rifles with certain features of military weapons. At the time there was no intention of banning semi-automatic rifles en masse.

What has happened is the antis latched onto the word "automatic," conflated that with "semi-automatic" and gradually stirred the moonbat pot until automatic/semi-automatic became the Devil's work.

Having decided that the issue was not bayonet lugs but was semi-automatic operation, Maura and her minions pored over the language of the Massachusetts AWB and found a way that they, in their mind, could credibly reinterpret the scope of the ban.

Maura's reinterpretation is a huge problem for us because the general public can not grasp the unconstitutional scope of what has happened, think Maura closed a minor loophole and many of them don't care anyway as long as their feelz are catered to.

That's what I've been told anyways.

If that proves to be true then just possibly there are enough of the good guys wearing blue** to make a difference and maybe ease some of the tension between "us" and "them".
