To compound the problem, Mass stands in the way of a hunting trip to Maine.
So now hunters who drive thru Mass with semi auto rifles on the way to Maine will be impacted??? Don't be surprised if Mass requires those hunters to call ahead and let st police know they are driving thru...just as the law already on the books for pistols.
Driving to Maine with a pistol thru Mass requires you to contact Mass police to let them know you will be driving thru their state.
How many that hunt in Maine, NH, VT call Mass to tell them you have a pistol in your vehicle if you drive thru Mass?
Imagine a guy going to hunt in Manie fron NJ, has a pistol in his car and didn;t call ahead to Mass st police....the law is quite happy to send an otherwise law abiding citizen to prison to share a cell with a gangbanger. That is a bad law. Punish those who violate administrative gun laws and exempt gang members running and selling drugs.
I guess it's easier to blame the NRA instead of poverty, drugs, gangs, or mental health.
I'm not an NRA member and I want to reduce gun violence. Even if I waved a magic wand and made the NRA disappear, I'm not foolish enough to think it would help fix mental health, gang problems, etc.
You are preaching to the choir, people like this will just never get it.
The AG was mad because gun owners were following the law and didn't have guns with the evil features they thought were so dangerious that they made illegal, things like having a stock that is adjustable to better fit the user is too dangerious so people pinned the stock to one length, etc.
This is highly unconstitutional, not just one 2nd amendment grounds, but having the state executive branch create law out of whole cloth by decree should scare anyone.
I would think but can she get away with it because the law was existing , but now the "interpretation" of it is different ?
Criminals, by definition, don't "give a flip" about whatever law is being broken. That doesn't mean we shouldn't have laws. A murderer doesn't "give a flip" about homicide laws; doesn't mean we should legalize murder.
But it doesn't mean that passing another law that bans murder will solve the murder problem, either.
So your argument is that we should make it easier for terrorists to acquire guns in Europe?
No, my argument is that banning rifles that look "scary" will do nothing to help our nation's gun crime problem, but they will make millions of Americans felons for possessing a firearm that was previously legal and no more dangerous than any other firearm.
Fabulous news. Nice to see Mass have some real courage and to see a state standing up to the NRA.
Hopefully many more states will follow, and the U.S. will be a place governed by the people, not by the NRA loons.
This is the goofball left who thinks that gun control doesn't equate to the disintegration of our Constitution... And that anything could be on tbe table... And as we have seen by Obama...all aspects of your life can be subject to government intervention....
Perhaps you'll like living in grey concrete public housing...maybe you already do...
Not me..and not anyone who can critically think about what is going on
Then you would imagine wrong. Truck licenses are expensive, trucks are very expensive, and the truck operator licenses definitely require background trucks.
Nope. I can walk into Ryder today and rent a large truck for maybe a hundred bucks with no special driver license and no background check.
