I'll try to answer this question.

- Tolman intends to use Ch. 93A to expand his powers by blocking sale/transfer of any gun w/o smart technology by fiat (CMR expansion no doubt). GOAL and the rest of us already lost a case in MA courts on the current AG Regs many years ago and Tolman hangs his hat on that. AND I would expect any MA court to support him 100%.

- Healy would like the same thing, BUT (and it is a big but), she's convinced that she does not have the power to do it by fiat and will rely on the legislature to create a law. Legislative action is unlikely and can be thwarted as we did this year.

- We can't defeat a dictator that merely invokes something with no process (short of a federal case that will take 3-5 years) to stop him.

That's how I see the issue right now. YMMV
