MA Glock Madness?

This. Despite the fact that quite a few agencies/departments in MA carry them, they aren't safe enough for us mere mortals to carry.

That pretty much sums it up.
Hopefully he'll run again. I'll even put signs up this time.

Contain some of the answers. A former AG had a hair across his ass and was out to get Glock. He did and Glock will no longer deal with the MA AG and said BS. That's it in a nutshell.

Get discouraged, and angry. It is the only way things will change.
This.
I'll also add that it's not that hard to get a like new, gently used Glock (whatever) in MA. It's all a matter of how resourceful you are and how good you are at not letting money burn a hole in your pocket.

This is partially incorrect, Nearly all the 3rd gens are on the roster, save for maybe the 17L and the 24. So 3rd gens are at least "first tier" compliant but not AG/CMR940 compliant.
You can buy as many as you want from a dealer, it's just not legal for him to sell you one. There is a difference. (Although, good luck getting a dealer to sell you one!) The best way of describing this is it's like him selling you a mattress that had the tag cut off of it. It's illegal for him to sell the mattress, but if YOU bought it anyways, you, the consumer, have not committed any crime whatsoever.

One of many reasons any gun owner hates this state and the Pols and citizens who elect these hacks..
Glidden has nothing to do with CMR940, though... that's strictly the AG's BS... and the EOPS crap is actually codified into MGL, the testing is law, not regulation. Not sure if Glidden had any part in creating that crap, or not, though. CMR940 is the (functionally) more evil of the two, despite the fact that it has less teeth- because it's based on arbitrary criteria.

Glidden is the Chairman of the GCAB, a board appointed by the Gov'r and authorized by the 1998 Gun Control Act. The GCAB has nothing to do with the AG's office (or the AG Regs) and in fact the AG refuses to participate in their meetings.
Glidden is no longer the Chief in Lee, he retires officially at the end of this month but has been using his accrued vacation time for the past 2 months. He's also moved to a very different area of the state.
The AG has NO review board.

So does that mean i can't get a Glock 21 in the future if i am still living in MAss ? Glock is not a dangerous weapon. The dangerous thing is the finger.
