"reasonable" states and I use that very loosely since I am referencing states passing similar highly restrictive gun laws, have taken the path of repeatedly postponing implementation of certain sections of new laws to accommodate the states need to "do work" to meet the plain text meaning of the laws they have passed. I do not expect such reasonable behavior here in MA, but that in no way makes their actions consistent with their own law. Of course MA courts being what they are, they will agree that a circle meets the definition of a square if it suits their interests.

My statements are always plain text reading until such a time as binding case law exists to redefine plain english (or a CMR doing the same thing, think large capacity weapon). I am under no delusions about MA courts and the executive branches willingness to read english as spanish when it suits them.

[QUOTE="CrackPot, post: 9179107, member: 27498"] "reasonable" states and I use that very loosely since I am referencing states passing similar highly restrictive gun laws, have taken the path of repeatedly postponing implementation of certain sections of new laws to accommodate the states need to "do work" to meet the plain text meaning of the laws they have passed. I do not expect such reasonable behavior here in MA, but that in no way makes their actions consistent with their own law.
