Huh?
Huh indeed. Don’t feed the trolls. He must’ve stubbed his pinky toe on the coffee table this morning. Otherwise he’s just bitter for no reason.

Huh?
Legislative intent will almost always end in arbitrary points. It is practically impossible to capture the intent of a large deliberative body. When interpreting statutes one must focus on the actual text of the bill, as passed-through a bicameral body then signed by a separate yet equal branch of government. Once you put intent aside you will see that MGL 140 § 121 is clear and unambiguous. The legislature, through the deliberative democratic process, can at any time expand the named and enumerated weapons should they wish but that has yet to happen.
The me rephrase the question to make it clearer:
Do you agree with the AG's interpretation that an item that is not a firearm, rifle or shotgun under Massachusetts law is a duplicate of a prohibited firearm? This is a yes or no question.
Huh?
It’s not the same as a banned firearm because it does not meet the feature list that explicitly is stated in banning said firearm.
Just want to make a point that the Guida of 2013 is not the Guida of 2020 anymore..... back then he was a puppet of anti-gun a**h***s... just a gov. functionary. I would Hazard a guess that even that decision to rescind that guy's permit wasn't actually made by him but somebody above him. Those dipshitz made him the "Fall Guy" for a lot of bullshit. Eventually all of that was too much for him to take and he left frb. Given his recent history with a lot of people I think he's redeemed himself from that pretty well. I say this as the guy who basically used to shit on him more than anybody else on this whole forum. Some people who are clients of his, have told me first person of his good work. Even a close friend of mine is one of them. Usually I'm bitter and hold grudges but that was one that I had to let go. We have to acknowledge as humans that sometimes people learn and change, and develop themselves in terms of personal character and moral compass.Guida pulled this mans license and forced him into litgation and this man prevailed but only an anti gun activist would have done such a thing.
Interesting New Gun Case from Massachusetts' Highest Court - The Volokh Conspiracy
This is a correct interpretation, based on my reading/research. The intent was to prevent Colt et al from just calling it an AR-16 and continuing to sell the same rifle.
Plenty of places to find normally priced lowers from what I hear.
You both are arguing the exact same viewpoint, some of that may have been lost in translation, but you’re on the same side and both well stated
Her point is that it is a copy or duplicate absent any other parts and may not be sold.No, a stripped receiver is a piece of aluminum and a nothing more. However, if it is assembled, using the same trigger, hammer, small parts and attached to an upper with a bolt and carrier that is the same as a banned gun then I can see heallys point that it is a copy or duplicate.
Nobody is getting "screwed" if you didn't hold a gun to their head or otherwise lie to the buyer to sell the thing. If someone got soaked it's usually their own damn fault for not doing their homework. I bet you didn't sell it at typical lgs trade in price (probably at the lower end of book values) so depending on who is making the definitions you might have still "soaked the guy." see how inherently retarded this thought process is? The value is whatever the market is willing to bear, which is always a somewhat nebulous target. I've "overpaid" for a lot of stuff in the past, but never once held the seller responsible for that. If the price is too high you have to negotiate or walk away, a power the buyer nearly always retains.Thank my Lord Jesus Christ for not mentioning Pre carpet cleaning and for not ass raping my LMT sale.
I need to sleep at night knowing I didn’t screw over my fellow man for a buck.
Maybe I’ll drop a few more items off for reasonable money. I rather be looked back as a good guy, not some sleazy used car salesman.

Great. I have a mint AR10T that I’ll post up. Plus a few Sigs I no longer need.Nobody is getting "screwed" if you didn't hold a gun to their head or otherwise lie to the buyer to sell the thing.

Yes- I encourage you to embrace capitalism and get whatever you can get for them. Usually when I price items I sort of read the overall market and then price it in such a way that I know it will sell quickly- My priority.... but I'm not really concerned about whether somebody thinks they're getting soaked or not... I'm not forcing them to buy any of it that's for sure. No different than when people call me in desperation to fix shit and I charge them 90 to 125 bucks just to show up. (Friends and family pay little, but on the other end, business is business. ) In 22 years I've only ever had 2 people claim I charged too much. Needless to say they're not customers anymore, although one of them was never really one to begin with, just a lead... I've only ever had one guy try to skinflint me on a gun I sold too, I stood my ground and he paid the firm price. If he's still bitter now about the extra 50 bucks, he's a retard because that gun is worth at least four to five hundred more than what I sold it to him for.... lmao. Oh and one time I sold a dude on here a rifle where I pretty much almost tripled my take on and that one, and the dude was the happiest guy on earth to get it for the price that I sold it.... He restored the furniture on it and it came out great... all things are relative.... especially wrt this stuff.Great. I have a mint AR10T that I’ll post up. Plus a few Sigs I no longer need.
I get it Mike. I’m a much better employee than a salesman but I’m the boss for a small place.Yes- I encourage you to embrace capitalism and get whatever you can get for them.

Sub 200??Great, does that mean we will see sub $200 lowers again?
Nice try Maura.
But in all seriousness. I am exagerating a bit, though I have seen them directly on aeroprecisionusa.com for $59 with free shipping.
And frankly Anderson's are fine too. I saw one of them advertised for $34.99 before the Covid craziness began.
