She prob will be unavailable ,protected by agents with AR 15 's.People should be getting in her face about this. At her office, at home, out in public - everywhere.
According to her, anything sold today (WEds) is already illegal.
It looks like somebody explain to her that it doesn't matter if things go up and down or can be unscrewed from the end of a barrel.Maura Healey is a mental midget.
I don't know why you guys are focusing on today, the letter 'clarifies' a law that was enacted in 1994. She could go after all of us, especially if we get picked up on something else - it's a nice pile-on charge.

She has the precedent of the loaded chamber indicator that tells her she can make the rules about acceptable firearm features. I don't think it's that big of a reach for her and is taking us down a very dangerous path.
That will end now. On Wednesday, we are sending a directive to all gun manufacturers and dealers that makes clear that the sale of these copycat assault weapons is illegal in Massachusetts.
Will this mean we all have to prove that our ARs were purchased prior to today?We recognize that most residents who purchased these guns in the past believed they were doing so legally, so this directive will not apply to possession of guns purchased before Wednesday. In the dozen years since the federal assault weapons ban lapsed, only seven states have instituted their own assault weapons ban. Many of those bans have been challenged (unsuccessfully) by the gun industry, and we anticipate our directive may be too. But our job is to enforce state laws and to keep people safe. This directive does both.
I'm not sure where this number is coming from, but I'm willing to bet that after this, the number will jump to 15,000 this year.Here in Massachusetts, 10,000 assault weapons were sold just in the last year —
She is also writing law by defining something that isn't written into MGL: 20 July 2016. She simply does not have the power to do that. If she were to only change the interpretation of "copy/duplicate" and keep the existing date structure then she would have more solid footing.
This needs NRA attention: A dress rehearsal for Hitlery's first term.
sounds like she is making shit up as she goes a long...and she's a liar.
