[h=1]Guns That Are Not Assault Weapons[/h]
Q: Are there examples or categories of weapons that are not assault weapons?
Yes. Many rifles, shotguns, and pistols are not assault weapons, and therefore are not “copies or duplicates” of enumerated assault weapons. For example, the following are not assault weapons under G.L. c. 140, § 121:
- Any handgun on the current version of the state’s Approved Firearms Roster, available here ;
No. The Enforcement Notice makes no change to the list of handguns, including semi-automatic pistols, approved for sale in Massachusetts. The most recent list (August 2016) is available here . The Massachusetts Assault Weapons Ban does prohibit the sale of five semi-automatic pistols, the INTRATEC TEC-9, TEC-DC9 and TEC-22; and the Action Arms Israeli Military Industries UZI and Galil. Only these weapons and copies or duplicates of these specific pistols are prohibited under the ban, and none appear on the approved list.
I'd like to know why there isn't a Against the Ban tab. Where do I send a bill for her being able to use tax payer money to fund her own cheerleading section on a web site that is to provide legal guidance?

No mention of the AG list[/FONT]
Ok this is something I've been wondering about for a while but been leary of the NES beatdown i'm gonna get.
Why, if the AG doesn't allow dealers to sell Glocks, are they on the list at all?
I can only guess that she, and her predecessors, just don't give a flying eff about even the appearance of the whole situation. I mean, get em off the list or let us buy them.
If you file a formal complaint with the Ethics Commission they will sanction her for this, but the most that will happen is that they force removal of that tab and tell her not to do it again. It's not legal to do this with public money, but the public and politicians couldn't care less.
She wouldn't give a shit. Donate to Comma2A etc..

I think that is " on the contrary my friend" in French ( which I do not speak). It would be headline news. The moon bats would go apeshit. It doesn't have to be nasty or derogatory; just factual and to the point.
We get all the LGS, NES Goal, comm2a, local clubs etc to donate to the cause. Set up a little LLC to collect and pay the advertisement firms. Probably need some in house IT professionals to create advertising ( which I'm sure we already have here) and viola'. A perfect public FU to all who support tyranny.
Hey Goal, Comm2a, NSSC. YES I'm calling you out. I can't do this alone. I'm an idea guy. You have the organizations in place. Utilize them. We pay you to be pro active not re-active Now bring it. We will fund you.
Im sick of the pussyfooting.

Sorry to be the first to do this to you . . .
You've been here >3 yrs and have no idea about the EOPS List and the non-existent AG "list"? I suggest opening the EOPS List and reading the header paragraphs. It should answer your question (teaching someone to fish vs. giving one a fish).
APPROVED FIREARMS ROSTER 08-2016This Roster Supersedes All Previous RostersThis roster has been compiled in accordance with M.G.L. c.140, § 131¾ and 501 CMR 7.00. Itcontains weapons determined by Massachusetts approved independent testing laboratories tohave satisfactorily completed the testing requirements of M.G.L. c. 140, § 123; clauses 18th; 19th;20th; and 21st. The reports resulting from said tests were reviewed by the Gun Control AdvisoryBoard and those makes and models listed herein were subsequently approved by the Secretary ofPublic Safety and Security as having complied with the statutory handgun testing provisions ofM.G.L. c. 140, § 123
am i the only one that doesn't see a disconnect? I can see they are approved by a different authority and maybe that's all there is to it.
I've been here >3 years and been a card carrying gun owner since 1981 lol. Having said that, i've learned more about mass gun laws in that last 3 than the previous 30+.
this header? still doesn't answer my question,
am i the only one that doesn't see a disconnect? I can see they are approved by a different authority and maybe that's all there is to it.
Massachusetts licensed firearms dealers should note that the transfers of handguns are also subject to the Attorney General’s Handgun Sales Regulations, 940 CMR 16.00, et seq. Firearms on this Approved Firearms Roster do not necessarily comply with the requirements of the Attorney General’s Handgun Sales Regulations. Information about those regulations, as well as the Enforcement Notice may be obtained from the Office of the Attorney General and may be accessed on the website of the Attorney General (www.ago.state.ma.us).”

I appreciate the desire, but let me give you a reality check. Associate of mine, financial guy, conservative....normally votes Republican. Well, he can't stand Trump and is voting for Gary Johnson. Tried to appeal to his sense of law and order and discussed the AG overreach. His reaction was he doesn't think people should have semi autos and he thinks Seth Moulton makes a lot of sense. Long story short, advertising is not going to change public opinion in this state.
In the meantime, maybe prepared to be the test case, if your record is clean and you are that dedicated to the cause.
