Very interesting!

"SPRINGFIELD — The impact of the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent landmark decision on firearms is reverberating throughout Massachusetts and in particular in Springfield where the Police Department found its decades-old practice of routinely restricting — or even denying — licenses to carry firearms was suddenly unconstitutional.


“With the new changes from the Supreme Court decision, that’s all gone,” said Deputy Police Chief William Cochrane."

There was never a shortage of people carrying guns in Springfield. The results are on the evening news all the time.

Statute of limitations? They could likely still be prosecuted, especially doing it willingly.

Naw. Remember the police have the different standard of "clearly established". Until the Bruen ruling, the right wasn't clearly established.

It's a crime for me or you to steal $225,000, but unless police have been explicitly told that it's a crime, they get a pass.
