It is illegal for anyone under 18 to use a machine gun, but Patrick’s proposal would kill full-auto free-for-alls by allowing only law enforcement and licensed owners to fire them. And Patrick wants to toughen licensing standards.
Meanwhile, one anti-gun control advocate said machine gun laws can be seen as a “success story.”
“I think people would be surprised to know that several thousand fully automatic weapons are in civilian hands,” said Daniel Vice of the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, who said illegally trafficked semi-automatic handguns pose a greater public threat.
“In Massachusetts, it should not be easy for people to get a machine gun license,” said Public Safety Secretary Mary Elizabeth Heffernan. “We’re working to tighten that process up . . . We’re requiring a little more detail about why you have a collector’s license, making it stricter for those who want to own machine guns.”
"Why" is none of her or anyone elses business!
They don't want to just "make it stricter", THEY WANT TO MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE!.........and if Mary Elizabeth Heffernan cannot/will not stand in front of a camera on live television and state that, she is an outright liar!
I am shocked and surprised that there weren't very many moonbats opening their uninformed yaps in the comments. Very nice indeed.
I didn't realize it was currently so easy...where do I drop off my application?
This is a scary quote. FA is effectively banned now. This is what he sees as a success story....
I wish I had the time to attend all these hearings and press conferences. Every time some drone like Mary Elizabeth starts talking about how we need to tighten up state control over FA, someone should be there to raise the embarrassing question "Could tell us of any instances where a person licensed to possess an automatic weapon, other than a police officer, has used such a weapon in the commission of a homicide or other violent crime, or where such a weapon was involved in an accident resulting in serious injury or death?"
