Massachusetts Legal Attack: Sweeping Gun Ban Enacted

Doofus, I guarantee you that caseless ammo would be blasted by the anti-funners as a clear attempt to evade the use of ballistic evidence in linking a shell casing to a gun used in a crime. They would demagogue it for about two weeks and then get it banned, as well. Kind of like the 'plastic gun' issue that was a fraud, as well.
 
Work arounds aren't going to work anymore. Unless you can establish that we have the right to own a good old standard AR, AK, Tavor, etc. rifle - playing with MSR, bullet buttons, compliant NY stocks, blah, blah - are just spitting in the wind.
 
We feel the right is long established. THEY DON'T. Or rather they feel our right to arms is limited to only those arms that THEY approve of.

And that's the bottom line, until/unless some GOVT agency that THEY respect announces we do have the right, they won't listen. (and even then, I doubt they will stop trying to ban guns)

They see GUNS as the problem. We see people shooting each other for fun and profit as the problem.

The only time these gun ban advocates have shut up, slowed, or toned down their rhetoric was for a short time after 9/11.

A small number of them even admitted that they had been wrong to focus on privately owned firearms as the greatest danger we face. With a couple thousand people dead, many thousands injured, and two of the world's tallest buildings (or was the Twin Towers one building??) destroyed, without a single gun being used, the evidence was pretty obvious.

Only took them about a decade to forget that, and a few more years to resume their full court press....
 
I agree with Dragline, the assumption of such power by a single person has no part in representative government. That is the definition of tyranny; simply said, despite what the "law" says. Tried such an end run here in Va with concealed carry reciprocity. That went down in flames when the legislature threatened to take away the gov.'s budget for security personnel. Ended up biting McAwful in the butt. Seems the only recourse left to those in Mass. is to elect those who will stand up for the right to have weapons. I think we all can agree that opposing tyranny is one of the primary reasons the right to keep and bear arms was included in the Constitution. Funny thing is, you don't need it until it is taken away.
 
What is needed is an open-carry rally of thousands of people carrying ARs in say Boston. Peaceful carry, but I mean the police couldn't possibly arrest thousands of people. Or if not open-carry, just thousands of protesters period.

Open carry rallies here in MA will just turn more people away from our cause, I guarantee it. The media will paint us as wack jobs, and the viewers will eat it all up. Not saying I think it's right, I'm just telling you how it is. As far as saying the police couldn't possibly arrest thousands of people, sure they wont be able to, but I'm not willing to risk my carry license to protest while open carrying when I can do so carrying concealed. There was a rally 2 days after she announced it and on short notice we got close to 1000 people. There will be another rally tomorrow and they are encouraging protesters to go into the state house to speak directly with legislators, which the public are open to do. They wont be able to ignore us when we are literally at their doorstep.

In Massachusetts, the Politicians, Media and the Courts seem especially hostile to private gun ownership. If the general population of Massachusetts "eats up" all the bad press about private ownership of guns, then that should tell you a lot about them as far as gun rights go...
 
To make matters worse the MA Speaker of the House will not bring forward legislation filed to reverse what the AG has done. He's about as left as you can get, so this isn't really a surprise.

Another turn of events is that the AG is sending letters to MA firearms and parts manufacturers demanding records. Not really sure what that's all about, but it can't be good for us.
