Sorry if this is a repeat. I'm sure it has come up in the past, but I'd like to get some current thinking on this subject...
I've had my LTC-A for a couple years. So far, I have only acquired a shotgun for hunting, but am looking at options for handguns to conceal/carry.
As with most of you, I imagine, I'm frustrated that each time I think I've got my choices narrowed down, I find that what I'd like to get isn't on the AG's "approved gun roster."
Reading the Four Seasons shop's website, it seems many of the manufacturers (Springfield Armory, Kimber, Glock, etc.) have zero interest in even trying to get their firearms tested to make it on the roster. It's just not worth their time and efforts.
So, what do we as concerned citizens need to do, to get this bullhockey 'roster' law (M.G.L. c. 140, § 123; clauses 18th; 19th;20th; and 21st) removed?
We the people agree to be 'governed' not 'ruled.' If we don't like the rules, do we not have the ability to get them stricken? How is it that these non-Mass-compliant guns are perfectly good, safe, and legal to sell in every other state but our own? How do we legitimately argue that we don't actually require this level of consumer protection laws?
& after that, what would we need to do to get rid of the ridiculous 10-bullet magazine limitation?
