what! you're surprised at that?of course there is pending fix in the works for them but not the average joes
Some animals are just more equal than others....
Members of paramilitary organizations indulging in parainterservice rivalry.Ha! What a joke. Who is going to enforce that?
You know, cops are more likely to break laws than legal gun owners. So maybe this law should stay. It will probably save some idiot driver or cops girlfriend.
I don’t see why cops can’t use S&W model 10s and Ithaca 37s (I won’t make them carry new 870s, I’m not cruel) like they used to. They don’t NEED more firepower than that. And if they do, they can keep it in the station.
These asshats have really stepped in it. This isn't going to end well for the grabbers.
There has been a lot of talk about going door to door to enforce the ban, if this happens every person who says "no one is coming for your guns" is going to have to STFTU. Also good luck with that, things will start getting pretty messy.

You "ground" your son for poor grades and he spouts off to his school's SRO about how you are keeping illegal firearm magazines at home. One fight with wife. Probably over something stupid. Wife calls cops and tells them that you are a heavily armed screwball in possession of illegal hi capacity magazines. Your daughter brags to her friends that you have more weapons and ammo than the cops. Unless you live alone like a hermit, there is real danger that even your own family can snitch on you and get you busted for multiple felonies for possession of these magazines.That's not happening, just like the other 10 times in whatever other garbage state this stuff came up. Most of these laws are paper tigers and they get otherwise well meaning people on the back end when they run their mouth to the police on traffic stops and things of that nature.
Most anti states are otherwise not going to pay the millions of dollars in OT required to have kopsch run around collecting this stuff.

I guess that you'd have to do it as a lawsuit? Discriminatory treatment? Even if nothing comes of it, but you hassle them for years in court the way anti-gunners hassle us, it would be something.Maybe, the angle here in MA is to start lobbying for our leos to have the same rules we do regarding magazine capacity and approved handguns. Then let the cops argue all our logical arguments. See how the lawmakers deal with that.

what I really want to know is how is a leo exemption legal in the first place? thats like not being able to buy a pipe wrench because you are not a plumberCitizens arrest of a police officer?
Fair is fair.

Of course, they don't need them out of state, so it would be great if some MA/VT trooper arrested them while they are on vacation, since you know their magazines weren't "in the state" before the ban enactment. Oh, to be a local cop at in a ski resort town....Recent court case against this very law I believe the court determined they are different because they are "Highly trained" and "More qualified" also I think they said something about how it's a different situation because they need them for their job and the rest of us don't.
