This isn't a question on how it's being used or what the law actually says. It's not about whether or not you feel it violates the 2a. This is a question about what YOU think the current law means when it defines Suitability, examples of what would make a person unsuitable as defined by the current law, regardless of whether you agree with the law or not. The law uses words like "clear", "specific", and "risk to public safety". What does it take to fulfill these requirements, in your opinion.
I suspect there is a very broad range of what people think this means. And that this varies widely inside and outside of 128 and 495, and 91.
MGL C140 s129B
A determination of unsuitability shall be based on a preponderance of evidence that there exists: (i) reliable, articulable, and credible information that the applicant has exhibited or engaged in behavior to suggest the applicant could potentially create a risk to public safety; or (ii) existing factors that suggest that the applicant could potentially create a risk to public safety.
MGL C140 s131
A determination of unsuitability shall be based on: (i) reliable and credible information that the applicant or licensee has exhibited or engaged in behavior that suggests that, if issued a license, the applicant or licensee may create a risk to public safety; or (ii) existing factors that suggest that, if issued a license, the applicant or licensee may create a risk to public safety.
