It sure sounds like law enforcement gave her a pass
If she's a legal resident of a state in which she meets the state law requirements to own a gun, MA law enforcement has to recognize and abide by that. As previously noted, it's a US Constitution Article IV requirement that they do so.
MA wasn't preventing her from owning a gun but she does have to comply with their gun regulations. This is not a constitutional issue, there are plenty of judgements against people bringing guns across state lines that were not in compliance.
Exactly.
Even Lelya Prinie is not promoting this latest bogus nonsense Informed Consent is spreading about.
She is making an effort to be in compliance with the laws of Massachusetts.

She has a gun so that is not a point of debate, she was not denied ownership.

She only has to comply with the state regulations of which she's a legal resident. US Constitution, Article IV.
I'll give you another vehicle example (since they're FAR more deadly than firearms)... IL state law requires that vehicles pass an emissions test in certain high population areas (e.g., Chicago metropolitan area) before the vehicle's registration can be renewed. However, vehicles registered out-of-state do not have to meet that requirement.

It's not bogus nonsense. It works the exact same way with someone possessing an out-of-state birth certificate, driver's license, vehicle registration, and with literally ANY and EVERY state law.
Once again... US Constitution, Article IV:
"Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State."
The fact that so many people don't know what the Constitution mandates is a shameful indictment of our country's education system.
"We are very near the end of a bizarre and barbaric period in our history where it was considered normal, and even preferable in the most misguided minds, for anyone and everyone who so desires to be walking around with a deadly weapon on their person."
Our Founding Father's felt DIFFERENTLY.
I like how you TOTALLY IGNORE all the armed robberies and other crime dome with guns that happen THOUSANDS of time a year and GUN is used to thwart that crime.
"Florida law enforcement officers are looking for someone who allegedly stabbed a man multiple times before being shot at in response. The armed citizen had noticed that a black pickup truck that was being driven erratically was following him. He pulled into a bank parking lot, but the truck followed. A man exited that vehicle and, armed with a knife, confronted his would-be victim. The citizen tried to hit the perpetrator or push him away and get back into his car, but after he flailed at the troublemaker, he was stabbed several times. The injured victim crawled into his vehicle and retrieved a handgun that he used to fire at the attacker. The perp jumped into his truck and, with a woman behind the steering wheel, fled. It was unclear whether the bullet struck anyone. (wokv.com, Jacksonville, Fla., 9/14/18) The Armed Citizen Extra A mother in Lehigh Acres, Fla., acted swiftly to defend herself against the father of her own child. After the man allegedly beat her and put a gun to her head, the woman fled, looking for help. The man caught up with her and her sister however, cutting them off with his car. When he got out and continued to approach despite admonitions to stop, the mother, whose eight-month-old baby was in the backseat, shot him in the arm, at which point her departed the scene to find a hospital for treatment. (WBBH/WZVN, Lehigh Acres, Fla, 10/31/2018)
"It only takes SECONDS to be shot when the police are MINUTES away!"
It looks you DON'T CARE about people, only YOUR FEARS, defending themselves because YOU are afraid of guns it is OK with you if these people are shot or worse killed because of YOUR FEAR!
Some day, it MIGHT happen to you or one of your family or friends. Heaven help them because they/you will NOT be able to help themselves!
How utterly selfish and despicable of you!
"The 2nd amendment has outlived its sensibility by at least a hundred years."
There is a legal process to get it changed. UNTIL THEN we ABIDE BY IT even if YOU don't like it. TOUGH!
Don't project YOUR FEARS onto me. I'm not the one who can't face life without a deadly weapon in their hand.
With one single offensive post, you have prevented any and all serious consideration of anything you have to say on any issue going forward. This kind of stance and, frankly, attitude is why your brand of conservatism has no future.
It's not bogus nonsense. It works the exact same way with someone possessing an out-of-state birth certificate, driver's license, vehicle registration, and with literally ANY and EVERY state law.
Once again... US Constitution, Article IV:
"Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State."

Once again, still wrong.
Check with the NRA.
If there was any Constitutional basis whatsoever for your repeated nonsense, they'd be pushing it.
Analyzing data from the FBI and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, "researchers at Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard University reported that firearm assaults were 6.8 times more common in the states with the most guns versus those with the least"
Also, an analysis of "15 different studies found that people who had access to firearms at home were nearly twice as likely to be murdered as people who did not."
I love it. Just the thought that I may be armed, gives me so much more power, over those that are not armed. And it shows quite nicely, by the emotions on overdrive.
Exactly as intended.
You won't be treading on me.
